At t = 0+, i(0+) = i(0-) = 2A, v(0+) = v(0-) = 12V
(b) For t > 0, we have the equivalent circuit shown in Figure (b).
vL = Ldi/dt or di/dt = vL/L
Applying KVL at t = 0+, we obtain,
vL(0+) – v(0+) + 10i(0+) = 0
vL(0+) – 12 + 20 = 0, or vL(0+) = -8
Hence, di(0+)/dt = -8/2 = -4 A/s
Similarly, iC = Cdv/dt, or dv/dt = iC/C
iC(0+) = -i(0+) = -2
dv(0+)/dt = -2/0.4 = -5 V/s
(c) As t approaches infinity, the circuit reaches steady state.

60||20 = 15 kohms, iR(0-) = 80/(25 + 15) = 2mA.
By the current division principle,
iL(0-) = 60(2mA)/(60 + 20) = 1.5 mA
vC(0-) = 0
At t = 0+,
vC(0+) = vC(0-) = 0
iL(0+) = iL(0-) = 1.5 mA
80 = iR(0+)(25 + 20) + vC(0-)
iR(0+) = 80/45k = 1.778 mA
But, iR = i C + iL
1.778 = iC(0+) + 1.5 or iC(0+) = 0.278 mA
(b) vL(0+) = vC(0+) = 0
But, vL = LdiL/dt and diL(0+)/dt = vL(0+)/L = 0
diL(0+)/dt = 0
Again, 80 = 45iR + vC
0 = 45diR/dt + dvC/dt
But, dvC(0+)/dt = iC(0+)/C = 0.278 mohms/1 µF = 278 V/s
Hence, diR(0+)/dt = (-1/45)dvC(0+)/dt = -278/45
diR(0+)/dt = -6.1778 A/s
Also, iR = iC + iL
diR(0+)/dt = diC(0+)/dt + diL(0+)/dt
-6.1788 = diC(0+)/dt + 0, or diC(0+)/dt = -6.1788 A/s
(c) As t approaches infinity, we have the equivalent circuit in Figure

iR(∞) = iL(∞) = 80/45k = 1.778 mA
iC(∞) = Cdv(∞)/dt = 0.
Chapter 8, Solution 3.
At t = 0-, u(t) = 0. Consider the circuit shown in Figure (a). iL(0-) = 0, and vR(0-) =
0. But, -vR(0-) + vC(0-) + 10 = 0, or vC(0-) = -10V.
(a) At t = 0+, since the inductor current and capacitor voltage cannot change abruptly,
the inductor current must still be equal to 0A, the capacitor has a voltage equal to
–10V. Since it is in series with the +10V source, together they represent a direct
short at t = 0+. This means that the entire 2A from the current source flows
through the capacitor and not the resistor. Therefore, vR(0+) = 0 V.
(b) At t = 0+, vL(0+) = 0, therefore LdiL(0+)/dt = vL(0+) = 0, thus, diL/dt = 0A/s,
iC(0+) = 2 A, this means that dvC(0+)/dt = 2/C = 8 V/s. Now for the value of
dvR(0+)/dt. Since vR = vC + 10, then dvR(0+)/dt = dvC(0+)/dt + 0 = 8 V/s.

Chapter 8, Solution 4.
(a) At t = 0-, u(-t) = 1 and u(t) = 0 so that the equivalent circuit is shown in
Figure (a).
i(0-) = 40/(3 + 5) = 5A, and v(0-) = 5i(0-) = 25V.
Hence, i(0+) = i(0-) = 5A

For t = 0+, 4u(t) = 4 and 4u(-t) = 0. The equivalent circuit is shown in Figure (b).
Since i and v cannot change abruptly,
iR = v/5 = 25/5 = 5A, i(0+) + 4 =iC(0+) + iR(0+)
5 + 4 = iC(0+) + 5 which leads to iC(0+) = 4
dv(0+)/dt = 4/0.1 = 40 V/s
Chapter 8, Solution 5.
(a) For t < 0, 4u(t) = 0 so that the circuit is not active (all initial conditions = 0).
iL(0-) = 0 and vC(0-) = 0.
For t = 0+, 4u(t) = 4. Consider the circuit below.

Since the 4-ohm resistor is in parallel with the capacitor,
i(0+) = vC(0+)/4 = 0/4 = 0 A
Also, since the 6-ohm resistor is in series with the inductor,
v(0+) = 6iL(0+) = 0V.
(b) di(0+)/dt = d(vR(0+)/R)/dt = (1/R)dvR(0+)/dt = (1/R)dvC(0+)/dt
= (1/4)4/0.25 A/s = 4 A/s
v = 6iL or dv/dt = 6diL/dt and dv(0+)/dt = 6diL(0+)/dt = 6vL(0+)/L = 0
Therefore dv(0+)/dt = 0 V/s
(c) As t approaches infinity, the circuit is in steady-state.
i(∞) = 6(4)/10 = 2.4 A
v(∞) = 6(4 – 2.4) = 9.6 V
Chapter 8, Solution 6.
(a) Let i = the inductor current. For t < 0, u(t) = 0 so that
i(0) = 0 and v(0) = 0.
For t > 0, u(t) = 1. Since, v(0+) = v(0-) = 0, and i(0+) = i(0-) = 0.
vR(0+) = Ri(0+) = 0 V
Also, since v(0+) = vR(0+) + vL(0+) = 0 = 0 + vL(0+) or vL(0+) = 0 V.
(1)
(b) Since i(0+) = 0, iC(0+) = VS/RS
But, iC = Cdv/dt which leads to dv(0+)/dt = VS/(CRS) (2)
From (1), dv(0+)/dt = dvR(0+)/dt + dvL(0+)/dt (3)
vR = iR or dvR/dt = Rdi/dt (4)
But, vL = Ldi/dt, vL(0+) = 0 = Ldi(0+)/dt and di(0+)/dt = 0 (5)
From (4) and (5), dvR(0+)/dt = 0 V/s
From (2) and (3), dvL(0+)/dt = dv(0+)/dt = Vs/(CRs)
(c) As t approaches infinity, the capacitor acts like an open circuit, while the inductor
acts like a short circuit.

For t = 0-, we have the equivalent circuit in Figure (a). For t = 0+, the equivalent
circuit is shown in Figure (b). By KVL,
v(0+) = v(0-) = 40, i(0+) = i(0-) = 1
By KCL, 2 = i(0+) + i1 = 1 + i1 which leads to i1 = 1. By KVL, -vL + 40i1 + v(0+)

For t > 0, we have a series RLC circuit with a step input.
α = R/(2L) = 6/2 = 3, ωo = 1/ LC = 1 / 0.04
s = − 3 ± 9 − 25 = −3 ± j4
Thus, v(t) = Vf + [(Acos4t + Bsin4t)e-3t]
where Vf = final capacitor voltage = 50 V
v(t) = 50 + [(Acos4t + Bsin4t)e-3t]
v(0) = -12 = 50 + A which gives A = -62
i(0) = 0 = Cdv(0)/dt
dv/dt = [-3(Acos4t + Bsin4t)e-3t] + [4(-Asin4t + Bcos4t)e-3t]
0 = dv(0)/dt = -3A + 4B or B = (3/4)A = -46.5
v(t) = {50 + [(-62cos4t – 46.5sin4t)e-3t]} V
