A circuit is modeled as an RC circuit that has its output taken across the capacitor. Assuming a ramp input is supplied to this circuit, the differential equation representing this circuit is given by:
dvc(t)/dt + RC * dv(t)/dt = V(t)
where:
V(t) = ramped input voltage
V = voltage rise per second
vc(t) = output voltage taken across the capacitor
At t = 0, vc(t) = 0.
Solve the above single-order differential equation for vc(t) using Laplace Transforms. (Hint: Use Partial Fractions)
b. Sketch a graph of vc(t) and v(t). What is the physical meaning of this relationship?
