1. In the figure shown R = 40 Ω, L = 4 H, and C = 1∕4 F.
Calculate the characteristic roots of the circuit. Is the
natural response overdamped, underdamped, or
critically damped?
2. If R = 10 Ω, L = 5 H, and C = 2 mF in Fig. 8.8, find α, ω0, s1, and s2. What type of natural
response will the circuit have?
3. Find i(t) in the circuit shown in the figure.
Assume that the circuit has reached steady state
at t = 0-
