Calculate the values of i2, i3, v2, v3, va, vc and vL of the network shown in Fig. 5.40 at the following times : (i) At time, t = 0 + immediately after the switch S is closed ; (ii) At time, t → ∞ i.e. in the steady state. |

Answer» (i) In this case the coil acts as an open circuit, hence i2 = 0 ; v2 = 0 and vL = 20 V. Since a capacitor acts as a short circuit i3 = 20/(5 + 4) = 9 = 20/9 A. Hence, v3 = (20/9) × 4 = 80/9 V and vc = 0. (ii) Under steady state conditions, capacitor acts as an open circuit and coil as a short circuit. Hence, i2 = 20/ (5 + 7) = 20/12 = 5/3 A; v2 = 7 × 5/3 = 35/3 V; vL = 0. Also i3 = 0, v3 = 0 but vc = 20V. |
