2) The switch in the circuit shown in the figure below has been open for a long time. The voltage of the sinusoidal source is vg = Vm sin ( t + ) . The switch closes at t = 0 . Note
that the angle in the voltage expression determines the value of the voltage at the moment when the switch closes, that is, vg ( 0 ) = Vm sin ( ) .
a) Use the Laplace transform method to find i for t > 0 . (4 marks) b) Write the expression for the current after the switch has been closed for a long time. (1 mark) c) Write the expression for the transient component of i. (1 mark) d) Find the steady-state expression for i using the phasor method. Verify that your expression is equivalent to that obtained in b. (2 marks) e) Specify the value of so that the circuit passes directly into steady-state operation when the switch is closed. (2 marks)
