Prompt #3: Solving RC circuit differential equation problem with constant and forced E(t)
Given the voltage in a resistor-inductor series circuit is supplied by a 12 volt battery, an
$\frac{1}{2}$ inductance of circuit henry and resistance 10 ohms. At time zero, the current in the circuit
is zero.
A). Find the general current function (equation), $i(t)$, by solving the initial value problem
described.
B). Changing the voltage from a constant to a variable (forced) function, with
$E(t) = 10 \sin(2t)$, and the initial current zero. Solve the IVP using the method of
integrating factor..
C). State the transient and steady-state parts of your solution to part (B).
