QUESTION:
The circuit shown in Figure P 7.8-11 has reached steady state before the switch opens at time t = 0. Determine the values of \(i_L(t)\), \(v_C(t)\), and \(v_R(t)\) immediately before the switch opens and the value of \(v_R(t)\) immediately after the switch opens.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 3:
The circuit represents a current divider. Looking at the circuit we can notice that inductors are tied in parallel,meaning there is the same voltage across them.voltage and can be expressed as:
