Chapter 7, Problem 5.: NATURAL RESPONSE OF AN RC-CIRCUIT
Use either (or both):
(a) Initial Condition on capacitor (so at t = 0 v(t) = voltage of capacitor before
switch thrown.
(b) two switches (open and closing at same time).

The switch in Fig. 7.84 has been in position a for a long time, until t = 4 s when it is moved to
position b and left there. Determine v(t) at t = 10 s.

Chapter 7, Problem 12. NATURAL RESPONSE OF AN RL-CIRCUIT
Use either (or both):
(a) Initial Condition on inductor (so at t = 0 i(t) = current before switch thrown.
(b) a switch to open a t=0.

The switch in the circuit in Fig. 7.90 has been closed for a long time. At t = 0, the switch is
opened. Calculate i(t) for t > 0.

Chapter 7, Problem 42.

Use either (or both):
(a) a switch to close a t=0. Make sure cap. has intialial condition of IC = 0.
(b) V a pulse input with V1=0, V2=12, TD=0, TR = 1n; PW=100MEG.

(a) If the switch in Fig. 7.107 has been open for a long time and is closed at t = 0, find vo(t).
(b) Suppose that the switch has been closed for a long time and is opened at t = 0. Find vo(t).
