Switching Circuits
1 –When the switch SW is closed
i(t) = v/R = 100/80 =5/4 A
2- When the switch SW is closed
V(t) = VR + VL
= R*i + L di/dt
V/L = R/L * i + di/dt
i(t) = i F(t) + iN (t) iF Forced –Steady state component
IN Natural – Transient Component
iF(t)
= V/L * L/R = 100/80 = 5/4 A
iN(t)
= A e-R/L t = -5/4 e-800 t
i(t)= 5/4 ( 1 – e-800t )
VL = L di/dt = 100 *10-3 * d/dt( 5/4( 1- e-800t))
= e-800 t V
3-When the switch SW is closed
V(t) = VR + VC + VL
= R*i + 1/C ∫ i(t) dt + L di/dt
0 = (di/dt)2 + R/L di/dt + 1/ LC i
0 = s2 + R/L s + 1/ LC
i(t) = i F(t) + iN (t) iF Forced –Steady state component
0 = s + 2 ξ ωn s + ωn
