A parallel RLC circuit has the following circuit parameters: R = 1 Ω, L = 2 H, and C = 2 F. Calculate the damping ratio and the undamped natural frequency of this network.
ANSWER: ζ = 0.5; ωn = 0.5 rad/s.
2. A series RLC circuit consists of R = 2 Ω, L = 1 H, and a capacitor. Determine the type of response exhibited by the network if a) C = 1/2 F, b) C = 1 F, and c) C = 2 F.
ANSWER: a) underdamped, b) critically damped, c) overdamped.
3. The switch in the network in Fig.1 opens at t = 0. Find i(t) for t > 0.
[Figure 1]
ANSWER: i(t) = -2e^(-t/2) + 4e^(-t) A.
4. The switch in the network in Fig.2 moves from position 1 to position 2 at t = 0. Find u0(t) for t > 0.
[Figure 2]
ANSWER: v(t) = 2e^(-t) - 3e^(-3t) V.
