If switch is closed at t=0,what would be Thevenin equivalent transform voltage at terminals a-a' ?(see attachment)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its a series LC circuit , damping coeffiecent = 0 resonant frequency = 1/ sqrt(LC)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

resonant frequency = 1/ sqrt( 1/ 25) = 1 / (1/5) = 5rad/sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solves of the characteristic equations are \[s=-\alpha+- \sqrt{\alpha^2-\omega^2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so solutions of the characteristic eqn are +-5i , complex conjugates so the general solution for the inductor current ( because then we can find the voltage by differentiating ) is i(t) = e^(0t) ( Acos(5t) +Bsin(5t) ) = Acos(5t) +Bsin(5t)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Note that the final value of the current is zero

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now we just need the initial conditions to find the constants i(0) = 0 ( because the circuit is disconnected )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then when the switch is closed, do a KVL around the loop 10 - Vc(0) -VL(0) =0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but VL = L di/dt = 4 di/dt also Vc(0) is the initial capacitor voltage

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the initial capacitor voltage is unknown. when the circuit is at steady state the inductor is a short circuit , so the RHS of the capacitor is at ground, 0V , but the LHS is at an open switch , and an open circuit doesn't always mean 0V.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

O.K. I found that V(s)=10s/s^2+25. Am I right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

capacitor becomes 1/[ s (1/100) ] = 100/s inductor becomes 4s

OpenStudy (anonymous):

voltage divider

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{4s}{4s + \frac{100}{s}} \times 10\]=

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whatever that is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is V(S)=10s^2/s^2+25,You are right. Thank you for your time !!!!!!
