1. Given the RC circuit problem in the class. The R is equal to 10K and C is equal to 10F.

Please solve the

following problem. The input voltage is V and the voltage across the capacitor is Vc. The initial condition
of Vc(0)=0.
(a) Solve the step input response of Vc(t) using both the ODE and Laplace Transform approach. Plot the
response using Matlab. Program should be included.
(b) If the V(t)=sin2t, please solve the problem by using the ODE, Laplace Transform, and Fourier transform
(Bode plot concept). Plot the response using Matlab function. Program should be included. Note that the
ODE and Laplace Transform can obtain the transient response while the Fourier transform can only
obtain the steady state response.
(c) Explain the relation between the roots of the characteristic equation in solving the homogenous solution
and the pole of the transfer function. What do you get from the above problem.
