Q.1 In the circuit shown below, determine the frequency of oscillation that will be observed
in the capacitor voltage after switch S1 is closed. Determine the time at which the output
voltage Vo will settle to within 5% of its final value.
Q.2 After the circuit shown above has reached steady state, the switch S1 is opened and
an additional resistor is included to provide a current path as shown below. Sketch the
qualitative variation of current and capacitor voltage. What is the maximum value of R2
for which oscillations in current would be observed?

Q.5 A student applied VS = 10VCos(100t) as input to the circuit shown below and claimed
that he measured VO = 100VSin(100t) across the capacitor. Is that possible? If so
determine suitable values for inductor and resistor for such a condition to occur?
Comment about the concept of voltage division in this case.

Q.7 In the circuit shown below assume that the two input sinusoidal voltage sources
represent two different radio channels. Determine suitable value of capacitor such that
we can listen to channel-1 (represented by source VS1) of frequency f1 = 1000KHz.
Determine also suitable value of R such that interference due to the second channel of
frequency f2 = 1100KHz is negligible (say power at the output due to Vs2 is a factor of
1000 less than that due to Vs1) . Vo represents the output voltage. Use suitable
approximations to simplify analysis.
