§ an RLC circuit has both an inductor and a
capacitor
§ these circuits have a wide range of
applications, including oscillators and
frequency filters
§ they also can model automobile suspension
systems, temperature controllers, airplane
responses, and so forth

To solve, assume v=Aest .
The solution must then satisfy

Find the labeled voltages and currents at t=0- and
t=0+.
Answer:
iR(0−) = −5 A vR(0−) = −150 V iR(0+) = −1 A vR(0+) = −30 V
iL (0−) = 5 A vL (0−) = 0 V iL (0+) = 5 A vL (0+) = 120 V
iC(0−) = 0 A vC(0−) = 150 V iC(0+) = 4 A vC(0+) = 150 V

Find the first derivatives of the labeled voltages
and currents at t=0+.
Answer:
diR/dt(0+) = −40 A/s dvR/dt(0+) = -1200 V/s
diL /dt(0+) = 40 A/s dvL /dt(0+) = -1092 V/s
diC/dt(0+) = -40 A/s dvC/dt(0+) = 108 V/s

§ The resistor in the RLC circuit serves to
dissipate initial stored energy.
§ When this resistor becomes 0 in the series
RLC or infinite in the parallel RLC, the circuit
will oscillate.
