Consider the circuit in Fig.

1 with E = 300 V (DC), R1 = 200 , R2 =

200 , R3 = 200 , L = 0.1 H, C = 10 F. The switch K is closed for
very long time and is open at t = 0. Using the Laplace transform, find
and sketch the waveform of the voltage u(t).

Fig. 1

t < 0: K is closed, the circuit is operating in steady state.

In DC steady state, the capacitor is open circuit and the inductor is short
circuit.
R2//R3 = R23 = 100   u = R 23E = 100 V  i = u = 0.5 A
