Answer Key: Dropbox: Problem Solving (2 Items X 10 Points)

The document provides the solution to two problems regarding an electrical circuit. Problem 1 asks to find the differential equation describing the capacitor voltage vC(t) given the circuit components and an input voltage v(t) = 10 cos 4t. The solution uses Kirchhoff's laws to derive the differential equation as d2vC/dt2 + 8dvC/dt + 16vC = 40 cos 4t. Problem 2 asks to use Laplace transforms to determine the capacitor voltage vC(t) given the same circuit and input. The solution transforms the circuit into the s-domain, applies KVL, and isolates the Laplace transform of the capacitor voltage VC(s) to obtain VC(s

Dropbox: Problem Solving (2 items x 10 points)
1. The network shown is initially unenergized. At 𝑡 = 0, the switch is closed. Find the differential
equation that describes the voltage 𝑣𝐶(𝑡) for 𝑡  0. Let 𝑣(𝑡) = 10 𝑐𝑜𝑠 4𝑡. (10 points)

Solution 1
1. The electrical equations governing the
𝑑𝑖
electrical circuit above are:
𝐿
KVL: 𝑣(𝑡) = 6𝑖 + +𝑣 (1)
1𝐿
𝑑𝑣𝐶 𝑑𝑡𝑣𝐶 𝐶
KCL: 𝑖𝐿 = + (2)
4 𝑑𝑡 2
2. Differentiate (2).
𝑑𝑖𝐿 1 𝑑2𝑣𝐶 1 dv𝐶
= + (3)
𝑑𝑡 4 𝑑𝑡2 2 𝑑𝑡
3. Substitute (2) and (3) to equation (1).
1 𝑑𝑣𝐶 𝑣𝐶 1 𝑑2𝑣𝐶 1 dv𝐶
𝑣(𝑡) = 6[+ ]+{ 2 + } + 𝑣𝐶
4 𝑑𝑡 2 4 dt 2 𝑑𝑡
4. Simplifying, we get,
1 𝑑2𝑣𝐶 dv𝐶
𝑣(𝑡) = 2
+2 + 4𝑣𝐶
4 dt 𝑑𝑡
or
𝑑2 𝑣 𝐶 dv𝐶
40 𝑐𝑜𝑠 4 𝑡 = 2
+8 + 16𝑣𝐶 t ≥ 0
dt 𝑑𝑡

Solution 2
1. Use the method of operators. From (1) and (2), we get:
(𝐷 + 6)𝑖𝐿 + 𝑣𝐶 = 𝑣(𝑡) (4)
−4𝑖𝐿 + (𝐷 + 2)𝑣𝐶 = 0 (5)
2. Multiply (4) by 4 and (5) by (D+6) and add the resulting
equations. Thus, we get:
(𝐷2 + 8𝐷 + 16)𝑣𝐶 = 4𝑣(𝑡)
Or
𝑑2𝑣𝐶 dv𝐶
+8 + 16𝑣𝐶 = 40cos4t t ≥ 0
