Question

Determine v(t) for t > 0 in the circuit below. 

The image displays an electrical circuit diagram featuring various components connected in a loop. Here's a detailed description:

1. **Voltage Sources:**
   - There are two voltage sources in the circuit:
     - The left voltage source provides \(60u(-t)\) volts, where \(u(-t)\) is the unit step function.
     - The right voltage source provides \(30u(t)\) volts, where \(u(t)\) is the unit step function.

2. **Resistors:**
   - A 30-ohm resistor is placed in series with the left voltage source.
   - A 20-ohm resistor is parallel to the capacitor and inductor.

3. **Capacitor:**
   - A 0.5 Farad capacitor is connected in parallel with the 20-ohm resistor.

4. **Inductor:**
   - A 0.25 Henry inductor is also connected in parallel with the capacitor and 20-ohm resistor.

5. **Voltage across the capacitor:**
   - The voltage across the capacitor is denoted by \(v\), with terminals marked '+' and '-'.

This circuit diagram is useful for analyzing transient responses in RLC circuits using unit step functions.
