Question

The following linear differential equation models the charge on the capacitor, q(t), at time t in an RLC series circuit:
L*d2q/dt2+R*dq/dt+(1/C)*q=E(t). Assume that L=4 henry and C=1/9 farad
(a) Find the resistance R so that the circuit is critically damped.

(b) Use the R value found in (a) and E(t) = 5 − e-t (an electromotive force is turned on at time t = 0 and increases to 5 volts as t → ∞). Assume the initial conditions q(0) = 0 coulombs and i(0) = 0 amperes
