Question

Here are the initial conditions for the above circuit: Switch #1 is OPEN, Switch #2 is OPEN, the capacitor is discharged, so Qcapacitor = 0.

(a) (+2) At time t=0, Switch #2 remains OPEN but Switch 1 is suddenly CLOSED. List the instantaneous values at t=0 of:

VR1 = _________ Volts.

VR2 = _________Volts.

VL = _________Volts.

IL = _________Amps

IC = _________Amps

VC = _________Volts.

(b) (+2) Switch #2 remains OPEN and Switch 1 has now been CLOSED for a long, long time. List the steady-state values of:

VR1 = _________ Volts.

VR2 = _________Volts.

VL = _________Volts.

IL = _________Amps

IC = _________Amps

VC = _________Volts

(c) (+2) Suppose that both Switch #1 and Switch #2 have been closed for a long, long time Switch #1 is now suddenly OPENED. Immediately after Switch #1 is opened, list the instantaneous values of:

VR1 = _________ Volts.

VR2 = _________Volts.

VL = _________Volts.

IL = _________Amps

IC = _________Amps

VC = _________Volts

S2 SA R1 R2 0

Explanation / Answer

Inductor doesn't allow the sudden change in current flowing through it, Capacitor wont allow the sudden changes in voltage (potential diff) stored in it.

a) VR1=0, VR2=0, VL= V0, IL=0, IC=0, and VC=0

b) VR1=V0, VR2=0, VL=0, IL =V0/R1 , and VC=0;

c) VR1=0, VR2=(V0/R1)*R2 ,VL= (V0/R1)*R2 , IL = V0/R1 and VC =0;
