RC Circuits

Assessment Problems
AP 7.1 [a] The circuit for t < 0 is shown below. Note that the inductor behaves like a
short circuit, effectively eliminating the 2 resistor from the circuit.

First combine the 30 and 6 resistors in parallel:


30k6 = 5
Use voltage division to find the voltage drop across the parallel resistors:

v=

by the inductor for t > 0. When the switch opens, only the 2 resistor

So w (5 ms) = 21 Li2 (5 ms) = 12 (8) 103 (3.58)2 = 51.3 mJ

Using current division,

Use the initial inductor current and the time constant to find the current

AP 7.3 [a] The circuit for t < 0 is shown below. Note that the capacitor behaves like
an open circuit.

Find the voltage drop across the open circuit by finding the voltage drop
across the 50 k resistor. First use current division to find the current
through the 50 k resistor:
80 103
i50k =
(7.5 103 ) = 4 mA

Use Ohms law to find the voltage drop:
v(0 ) = (50 103 )i50k = (50 103 )(0.004) = 200 V
[b] To find the time constant, we need to find the equivalent resistance seen
by the capacitor for t > 0. When the switch opens, only the 50 k
resistor remains connected to the capacitor. Thus,
= RC = (50 103 )(0.4 106 ) = 20 ms

AP 7.4 [a] This circuit is actually two RC circuits in series, and the requested
voltage, vo , is the sum of the voltage drops for the two RC circuits. The

CHAPTER 7. Response of First-Order RL and RC Circuits


Find the current in the loop and use it to find the initial voltage drops
across the two RC circuits:
15
i=
= 0.2 mA,
v5(0 ) = 4 V,
v1(0 ) = 8 V
75,000
There are two time constants in the circuit, one for each RC subcircuit.
5 is the time constant for the 5 F 20 k subcircuit, and 1 is the time
constant for the 1 F 40 k subcircuit:
5 = (20 103 )(5 106 ) = 100 ms;
1 = (40 103 )(1 106 ) = 40 ms
Therefore,
v5 (t) = v5(0 )et/5 = 4et/0.1 = 4e10t V, t 0
v1 (t) = v1(0 )et/1 = 8et/0.04 = 8e25t V, t 0
Finally,
vo (t) = v1(t) + v5(t) = [8e25t + 4e10t] V,
t0
[b] Find the value of the voltage at 60 ms for each subcircuit and use the
voltage to find the energy at 60 ms:
v1 (60 ms) = 8e25(0.06)
v5 (60 ms) = 4e10(0.06)
= 1.79 V,
= 2.20 V
w1 (60 ms) = 21 Cv12(60 ms) = 12 (1 106 )(1.79)2
= 1.59 J
w5 (60 ms) = 21 Cv52(60 ms) = 12 (5 106 )(2.20)2
= 12.05 J
w(60 ms) = 1.59 + 12.05 = 13.64 J
Find the initial energy from the initial voltage:
w(0) = w1 (0) + w2 (0) = 21 (1 106 )(8)2 + 12 (5 106 )(4)2 = 72 J
Now calculate the energy dissipated at 60 ms and compare it to the
initial energy:
wdiss = w(0) w(60 ms) = 72 13.64 = 58.36 J
% dissipated = (58.36 106 /72 106 )(100) = 81.05 %

AP 7.5 [a] Use the circuit at t < 0, shown below, to calculate the initial current in
the inductor:

i(0 ) = 24/2 = 12 A = i(0+ )


Note that i(0 ) = i(0+ ) because the current in an inductor is continuous.
[b] Use the circuit at t = 0+ , shown below, to calculate the voltage drop
across the inductor at 0+ . Note that this is the same as the voltage drop
across the 10 resistor, which has current from two sources 8 A from
the current source and 12 A from the initial current through the inductor.

v(0+ ) = 10(8 + 12) = 200 V


[c] To calculate the time constant we need the equivalent resistance seen by
the inductor for t > 0. Only the 10 resistor is connected to the inductor
for t > 0. Thus,
= L/R = (200 103 /10) = 20 ms
[d] To find i(t), we need to find the final value of the current in the inductor.
When the switch has been in position a for a long time, the circuit
reduces to the one below:

Note that the inductor behaves as a short circuit and all of the current
from the 8 A source flows through the short circuit. Thus,
if = 8 A
Now,
i(t) = if + [i(0+ ) if ]et/ = 8 + [12 (8)]et/0.02
= 8 + 20e50t A, t 0
[e] To find v(t), use the relationship between voltage and current for an
inductor:

[b] t 0+ , since there is no requirement that the voltage be continuous in a
resistor.

AP 7.7 [a] Use the circuit shown below, for t < 0, to calculate the initial voltage drop
across the capacitor:

i=

40 103
(10 103 ) = 3.2 mA
125 103

vc (0 ) = (3.2 103 )(25 103 ) = 80 V

so vc (0+ ) = 80 V

Now use the next circuit, valid for 0 t 10 ms, to calculate vc (t) for
that interval:

For 0 t 100 ms:


= RC = (25 103 )(1 106 ) = 25 ms
vc (t) = vc (0 )et/ = 80e40t V 0 t 10 ms
[b] Calculate the starting capacitor voltage in the interval t 10 ms, using
the capacitor voltage from the previous interval:
vc (0.01) = 80e40(0.01) = 53.63 V
Now use the next circuit, valid for t 10 ms, to calculate vc (t) for that
interval:

For t 10 ms :
Req = 25 kk100 k = 20 k
= ReqC = (20 103 )(1 106 ) = 0.02 s
Therefore vc (t) = vc (0.01+ )e(t0.01)/ = 53.63e50(t0.01) V,

t 0.01 s

We can check our answers by calculating the initial energy stored in the

resistor and the 100 k resistor.
Check: wstored = (1/2)(1 106 )(80)2 = 3.2 mJ
wdiss = 2.91 + 0.29 = 3.2 mJ
AP 7.8 [a] Prior to switch a closing at t = 0, there are no sources connected to the
inductor; thus, i(0 ) = 0.
At the instant A is closed, i(0+ ) = 0.

at t = 4 s the output voltage is zero, hence there is no energy stored in

[a] T2 is normally ON since its base current ib2 is greater than zero, i.e.,
ib2 = VCC /R when T2 is ON. When T2 is ON, vce2 = 0, therefore ib1 = 0.
When ib1 = 0, T1 is OFF. When T1 is OFF and T2 is ON, the capacitor C
is charged to VCC , positive at the left terminal. This is a stable state;
there is nothing to disturb this condition if the circuit is left to itself.
[b] When S is closed momentarily, vbe2 is changed to VCC and T2 snaps
OFF. The instant T2 turns OFF, vce2 jumps to VCC R1 /(R1 + RL ) and ib1
jumps to VCC /(R1 + RL ), which turns T1 ON.
[c] As soon as T1 turns ON, the charge on C starts to reverse polarity. Since
vbe2 is the same as the voltage across C, it starts to increase from VCC
toward +VCC . However, T2 turns ON as soon as vbe2 = 0. The equation
for vbe2 is vbe2 = VCC 2VCC et/RC . vbe2 = 0 when t = RC ln 2, therefore
T2 stays OFF for RC ln 2 seconds.

[a] While T2 has been ON, C2 is charged to VCC , positive on the left terminal.
At the instant T1 turns ON the capacitor C2 is connected across b2 e2 ,
thus vbe2 = VCC . This negative voltage snaps T2 OFF. Now the polarity
of the voltage on C2 starts to reverse, that is, the right-hand terminal of
C2 starts to charge toward +VCC . At the same time, C1 is charging
toward VCC , positive on the right. At the instant the charge on C2
reaches zero, vbe2 is zero, T2 turns ON. This makes vbe1 = VCC and T1
snaps OFF. Now the capacitors C1 and C2 start to charge with the
polarities to turn T1 ON and T2 OFF. This switching action repeats itself
over and over as long as the circuit is energized. At the instant T1 turns
ON, the voltage controlling the state of T2 is governed by the following
circuit:
