University of Botswana

Department of Mathematics
MAT391 Engineering Mathematics III
Assignment
Due date: Friday, October 17, 2024 Time: 1350hrs Venue: 252/LT002

INSTRUCTIONS: Answer all questions. Show all the necessary steps clearly and neatly. You must work
in groups of 3 students.

1. The LCR circuit consists of a resistor R, a capacitor C and an inductor L connected in series
together with a voltage source e(t). Prior to closing the switch at time t = 0, both the charge on
the capacitor and the resulting current in the circuit are zero.

R L
t=0
i(t)
e(t) C q

Using Laplace transform determine the charge q(t) on the capacitor and the resulting current i(t)
in the circuit at time t given that R = 40Ω L = 3 × 10−3 H, C = 5 × 10−6 F and e(t) = 120V. [20]
2. The function f (x) = 1 − x is to be represented by a Fourier series expansion over the finite interval
0 < x < 2. Obtain a suitable
(a) full-range Fourier series expansion, [10]
(b) half-range cosine series expansion. [5]
(c) half-range Fourier sine series expansion, [5]
(d) Draw graphs of f (x) and of the periodic functions represented by each of the three series for
−8 ≤ x ≤ 8. [5]
3. Given φ(x, y, z) = 3x2 + 2y 2 + z 2 . Calculate
(a) the directional derivative of φ at the point (1, 2, 3) in the direction of the vector A = 2i+2j+k.
[8]
(b) the maximum rate of change of the function at the point (1, 2, 3) and its direction. [7]
4. A surface is defined by z 2 = 4(x2 + y 2 ) where 0 ≤ z ≤ 6. If a vector field F = zi + xy 2 j + x2 zk
exists throughout and on the boundary circle C, show that
I Z
F • dr = curl(F) • dS.
C S

[ This is a verification of Green’s theorem.] [20]


5. Verify the Gauss divergence theorem for F = 4xi − 2y 2j + z 2 k over the region bounded by
x2 + y 2 = 4, z = 0 and z = 3. [20]
