Question One

Find the inverse Laplace transform of

Sol.

The inverse transform is given by

Question Two

Find f (t) given that

Sol.

We first need to determine the partial fractions. Since there are three poles, we let

Using Residue method to find the constant

By finding the inverse transform of each term, we obtain

Question Three

In the RL circuit shown in Figure, the switch is in position 1 long enough to establish steadystate
conditions, and at t = 0 it is switched to the position 2 . find the resulting current.

Sol.

Assume the direction of the current as shown in the diagram. The initial current is then

i0 = - 50/25 = - 2 A.

The time-domain equation is

Taking the Laplace transform

Substituting for i(0+),

And

Applying the method of partial fractions,

with

Then

Taking the inverse Laplace transform, we obtain
