Textbook Question
Chapter 16, Problem 2PA
You are a journeyman electrician working in a large office building. The fluorescent lighting system is operated at 277 V. You have been instructed to replace the existing light ballasts with a new electronic type that is more efficient. The manufacturer of the ballast states that the maximum peak operating voltage for the ballast is 350 V. Will the new electronic ballast operate on the building’s lighting system without harm?

Consider the homogeneous RLC circuit (no voltage source) shown in the diagram below. Before
the switch is closed, the capacitor has an initial charge go and the circuit has an initial current go.

After the switches closes, current flows through the circuit and the capacitor begins to discharge.
The equation that describes the total voltage in the loop comes from Kirchoff's voltage law:

where i(t) and q(t) are the current and capacitor charge as a function of time, L is the inductance,
R is the resistance, and C is the capacitance. Using the fact that the current equals the rate of
change of the capacitor charge, and dividing by L, we can write the following homogeneous (no
input source) differential equation for the charge on the capacitor:
ä(t)+2ag(t)+wg(t) = 0,
