results obtained in (b) and (c).
Q2
For the circuit shown, determine (a) vC(0−); (b) vC(0+); (c) the circuit time constant; (d) vC(3 ms).
Q3
The switch in the circuit shown has been closed for a long time before being opened at t = 0.
a) Find vo(t) for t ≥ 0.
b) What percentage of the initial energy stored in the circuit has been dissipated after the switch
has been open for 60 ms?
Q4
The two switches in the circuit shown have been closed for a long time. At t=0, switch 1 is opened.
Then, 35 ms later, switch 2 is opened.
a) Find iL(t) for 0 ≤ t ≤ 35 ms.
b) Find iL for t ≥ 35 ms.
c) What percentage of the initial energy stored in the 150 mH inductor is dissipated in the 18Ω
resistor?
Q5
The uncharged capacitor in the circuit shown is initially switched to terminal a of the three-position
switch. At t=0, the switch is moved to position b, where it remains for 15 ms. After the 15 ms delay,
the switch is moved to position c, where it remains indefinitely.
a) Derive the numerical expression for the voltage across the capacitor.
b) Plot the capacitor voltage versus time.
c) When will the voltage on the capacitor equal 200 V?
 Q6
The circuit shown has been in operation for a long time. At t = 0, the voltage source reverses
polarity and the current source drops from 3 mA to 2 mA. Find vo(t) for t ≥ 0.
