(b) The switch-capacitor-inductor network shown in Figure 4.2 is placed across the
terminals of a Thévenin equivalent circuit with an open circuit voltage of 10 V and
Thévenin equivalent resistance of 10 0. There is no energy stored in either the
capacitor or inductor at time t = 0. For the resulting circuit, give the following values,
assuming the switch is closed at t = 0:
(i)
the initial voltage across the capacitor (t = 0)
(ii)
the final steady state voltage across the capacitor (t >> 0)
(ii)
the initial current through the inductor (t = 0)
(iv)
the final steady state current through the inductor (t >> 0)

(i)
For the circuit described in Q4(b), use Nodal Analysis to show that the circuit
behaviour for t>0 can be described by a characteristic equation of the form
given in equation 4.1.
s2 + 2as + wž
(4.1)
Where the variables have their usual meaning, and where a and wo can be
expressed in terms of the resistance, capacitance and inductance values.
(ii)
Calculate the values of a and wo, and hence find a value for wa
(d) The switch-inductor-capacitor network of Figure 4.2 is instead attached across the
terminals a, b of the circuit shown in Figure 4.1. Calculate the current that will be
measured through the 30 Q resistor for t>>0 (a long time after the switch was closed).
