17
 Ans.
a) The switch has been closed for along
time prior to t=0, so voltage across the
inductor must be zero at t = 0-.
Therefore the initial current in the
inductor is 20A at t = 0-. Hence iL (0+)
also is 20A, because an instantaneous
change in the current cannot occur in
an inductor.

21
• Note that this expression is valid for
t ≥ 0+ because i0 = 0 at t = 0-.
• The inductor behaves as a short
circuit prior to the switch being
opened, producing an instantaneous
change in the current i0. Then,

 Ex.
The switch in the circuit has been
open for along time. The initial charge
on the capacitor is zero. At t = 0, the
switch is closed. Find the expression for
a) i(t) for t ≥ 0
b) v(t) when t ≥ 0+

40
41
 Answer (a)
• Initial voltage on the capacitor is
zero. The current in the 30kΩ
resistor is

 (7.5)(20)
i (0 )   3mA
50

42
• The final value of the capacitor
current will be zero because the
capacitor eventually will appear as an
open circuit in terms of dc current.
Thus if = 0.
• The time constant, τ is

6
  (20  30)10 (0.1)  10
3

 5ms
43
• Thus, the expression of the current

t
 3e 510 3

 200 t 

44
 Answer (b)
• Theinitial value of voltage is zero
and the final value is

Vf  (7.5)(20)  150V

45
• The capacitor vC(t) is
v C ( t )  Vf  V0  Vf e  t

 150  (0  150)e  200 t

 200 t

When computing the step and natural responses of
circuits, it may help to follow these steps:
1. Identify the variable of interest for the circuit. For
RC circuits, it is most convenient to choose the
capacitive voltage, for RL circuits, it is best to
choose the inductive current.
2. Determine the initial value of the variable, which is
its value at t0.
3. Calculate the final value of the variable, which is its
value as t→∞.
4. Calculate the time constant of the circuit, τ.

52
 Sequential switching
• Sequential switching is whenever
switching occurs more than once in a
circuit.
• The time reference for all switching cannot
be t = 0.

53
 Example…

The first switch moves from a to b at t=0.

The second switch closed at t=1ms. Find the
current, i for t ≥ 0.
54
• Step 1: the current at t=0- is determined
by assuming that the first switch at point
a and the second switch opened for along
time. Therefore, the current, i(0-)=10A.
• At t=0, the time constant of RL circuit is
obtained as
L
   1ms.
R
• Thus the current for 0 ≤ t ≤ 1ms is,
1000 t
i  10e A 55
• At t=t1=1ms,
1
i (t1 )  10e
 3.68 A
When switch is closed at t=1ms, the equivalent
resistance is 1Ω. Then,

L 2
1    2ms

56
• Thus i for t ≥ 1ms is

• Overdamped voltage expression:

73
The process for finding the overdamped
response, v(t) :
1. Find the roots of the characteristic

2. Find v(0+) and dv(0+)/dt using circuit

 Example 1
(Step response of parallel RLC)
The initial energy stored in the circuit is zero.
At t = 0, a DC current source of 24mA is
applied to the circuit. The value of the resistor
is 400Ω.
1. What is the initial value of iL?
2. What is the initial value of diL/dt?
3. What is the roots of the characteristic
equation?
4. What is the numerical expression for iL(t)
when t ≥ 0? 114
115
 Solution
1. No energy is stored in the circuit
prior to the application of the DC
source, so the initial current in the
inductor is zero. The inductor
prohibits an instantaneous change in
inductor current, therefore iL(0)=0
immediately after the switch has
been opened.
116
2. The initial voltage on the capacitor is
zero before the switch has been
opened, therefore it will be zero
immediately after. Because

s 2   1400  j 4800rad / s
125
• Theroots are complex, so the
voltage response is
underdamped. Thus:
 1400t
vC  48  B1 e cos 4800t
 1400t
 B2 e sin 4800t t0

126
 • No energy is stored in the circuit
initially, so both vC(0) and
dvC(0+)/dt are zero. Then:


vC (0)  0  48  B1

dvC (0 )  
 0  4800B2  1400B1

• Solving for B1’and B2’yields,
