Circuits Work Problems.

This document contains the homework assignment for the course "Circuit Analysis I" given on November 7th, 2014. It includes 6 circuit analysis problems involving switches changing state at time t=0 in circuits containing resistors, capacitors, inductors, current sources, and voltage sources. The problems require deriving differential equations describing voltage or current over time and sketching plots of the transient responses. Readings are assigned from the textbook and the problems are to be submitted the following Friday.

Homework 9
Assigned: Friday, 7 November
Due: Friday, 14 November in class
Reading:
Franco, Sections 9.1 through 9.4 of Chapter 9.
Problems:
1) After the network reaches a steady state, the switch closes at time t=0:

R1 1.6k
t=0
I1 12.5mA

R2 400

Find an expression for the inductor current iL(t) for t>0 and sketch a plot.

2) After the network reaches a steady state, the switch opens at time t=0:

R1 30

R2 10

t=0
L1 10mH

C1 5F
V1 5V

Find an expression for the capacitor voltage vC(t) for t>0 and sketch a plot.

3) Quartz crystal resonators form the frequency reference for a wide variety of
electronic systems. These are electro-mechanical vibrating systems, and their
equivalent electrical circuit behavior, in the simplest case, can be modeled by a
series R-L-C network, as in:

A typical set of values for the equivalent components in a crystal model are: Ceq=0.04pF Leq=250mH
Req=125.
a) Find the natural frequency 0 and the damping factor .

b) Find the period of damped oscillation T d=

c) In the circuit above the switch establishes an initial steady state voltage across Ceq and then starts a
transient response at time t=0. Find the time at which the amplitude of the oscillations decay to half its
initial value, within a good approximation. How may oscillation periods does this time cover?

4) After steady state is reached in the circuit below, the switch changes state at time t=0. Assume the
opamp is ideal:
