1.1. Introduction

Keep in mind;  Capacitor voltage always continuous…  Inductor current always continuous…

EXAMPLE 1.1.

EXAMPLE 1.1. /Solution: (a) If the switch is closed a long time before t = 0, it means that the circuit has reached dc steady state at t = 0. At dc steady state, the inductor acts like a short circuit, while the capacitor acts like an open circuit, so we have the circuit in Fig. 8.(a) at t = 0−. Thus, As the inductor current and the capacitor voltage cannot change abruptly,

(b) At t = 0+, the switch is open; the equivalent circuit is as shown in Fig. 8 (b). The same current flows through both the inductor and capacitor. EXAMPLE 1.1. /Solution:

(c) Fort > 0, the circuit undergoes transience. But as t →∞, the circuit reaches steady state again. The inductor acts like a short circuit and the capacitor like an open circuit, so that the circuit becomes that shown in Fig. 8(c), from which we have

EXAMPLE 1.2.

EXAMPLE 1.2. /Solution: (a) For t < 0, 3u(t) = 0. At t = 0−, since the circuit has reached steady state, the inductor can be replaced by a short circuit, while the capacitor is replaced by an open circuit as shown in Fig. (a). From this figure we obtain

For t > 0, 3u(t) = 3, so that the circuit is now equivalent to that in Fig. (b). Since the inductor current and capacitor voltage cannot change abruptly, EXAMPLE 1.2. /Solution: Applying KCL at node a in Fig. (b) gives Applying KVL to the middle mesh in Fig.(b) yields

EXAMPLE 1.2. /Solution: But applying KVL to the right mesh in Fig. (b) gives

EXAMPLE 1.2. /Solution: (c) As t →∞, the circuit reaches steady state. We have the equivalent circuit in Fig.(a) except that the 3-A current source is now operative. By current division principle,

1.3. The Source-Free Series RLC Circuits The two values of s in Eq. (5) indicate that there are two possible solutions in Eq. (6); that is, (6) Natural response of series RLC;

1.3. The Source-Free Series RLC Circuits There are three types of solutions; İn this situation;

1.3. The Source-Free Series RLC Circuits

EXAMPLE 1.3. R=40 Ω, L=4H and C=1/4 F. Calculate the characteristic roots of the circuit. Is the natural response overdamped, underdamped, or critically damped? Solution: Since α > ω0, we conclude that the response is overdamped. This is also evident from the fact that the roots are real and negative.

EXAMPLE 1.4. Solution: For t < 0, the switch is closed. The capacitor acts like an open circuit while the inductor acts like a shunted circuit. The equivalent circuit is shown in Fig. (a). Thus, at t = 0,

EXAMPLE 1.4./ Solution For t > 0, the switch is opened and the voltage source is disconnected. The equivalent circuit is shown in Fig. 8.11(b), which is a source-free series RLC circuit. Hence, the response is underdamped (α < ω); that is,
