The values of the circuit elements in the circuit shown in the figure are given below.The initial energies of the capacitors and the coil are zero.Accordingly, how many volts is the voltage vo at t=0.55 seconds?
vs(t) = 2cos(4000t)u(t) VR = 19 ohmL = 20 HC1 = 1/5 FC2 = 1/2 F
could you please show steps on how the answer was derived. Vo(t)=3.922 cos(1000t-71.31')V
