Question
The input to the circuit shown in Figure P 9.2-10 is the voltage of the voltage source, \(v_s\). The output is the capacitor voltage v(t). Represent the circuit by a second-order differential equation that shows how the output of this circuit is related to the input for t > 0.
Hint: Find a Thevenin equivalent circuit.
Solution
The first step in solving 9.2 problem number 10 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The input to the circuit shown in Figure P 9.2-10 is the voltage of the voltage source, \(v_s\). The output is the capacitor voltage v(t). Represent the circuit by a second-order differential equation that shows how the output of this circuit is related to the input for t > 0. Hint: Find a Thevenin equivalent circuit.
From the textbook chapter Differential Equation for Circuits with Two Energy Storage Elements you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
