Question
The circuit of Fig. 10.79 is unfortunately operating differently than specified; the frequency of the current source is only 19 rad/s. Calculate the actual capacitor voltage, and compare it to the expected voltage had the circuit been operating correctly.
Solution
The first step in solving 10 problem number 74 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The circuit of Fig. 10.79 is unfortunately operating differently than specified; the frequency of the current source is only 19 rad/s. Calculate the actual capacitor voltage, and compare it to the expected voltage had the circuit been operating correctly.
From the textbook chapter Sinusoidal Steady-State Analysis you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
