A current of 6 sin 4t A flows through a 2-F capacitor. Find the voltage v(t) across the capacitor given
that v(0) = 1 V.
Answer:
Ic(t) = 6sin4t
C = 2F
V(0) = 1V
Vc(t) = ?
If the current waveform in Figure below is applied to a 20-μF capacitor, find the voltage v(t) across
the capacitor. Assume that v(0) = 0.
Answer:
Given that,
C = 20µ F
We know that voltage - current relation of the capacitor is,
V(t) = 1/C * ∫ i dt from 0 to t + V(0)
Given condition is V(0) = 0
For 0 < t < 1
We know that straight line equation,
(y - y1 ) = m (x – x1) ...............(2)
And
m = (y2- y1)/(x2 – x1)
From the above figure,
y2 = 4 & y1 = 0
x2 = 1 & x1 = 0
Therefore,
m = (4 - 0) / (1 - 0)
m=4
From- (2)
(y - 0) = 4 (x - 0)
y = 4x
(from the given figure x-axis is 't' and y-axis is 'i(t)' )
i(t) = 4t
Therefore,
From - (1),
V(t) = (1/20*10-6) ∫ 4t dt from 0 to t + 0
V(t) = [(4/20*10-6) * (t2/2)]
V(t) = 100t2 kV
V(1) = 100 kV
For 1 < t < 2
From the above figure,
y1 =4 & y2 = 0
x1 =1 & x2 = 2
Therefore,
m = (0 - 4) / (2 - 1)
m=-4
From-(2)
(y - 4) = - 4(x - 1)
y - 4 = - 4x + 4
y = 8 - 4x
(from the given figure x-axis is 't' and y-axis is 'i(t)')
i(t) = 8 - 4t
Therefore,
From - (1),
a) Derive the expression of the current flowing through it, power, and energy.
b) Sketch the waveforms of current, power, and energy as functions of time.
c) Specify the interval of time when energy is being stored in/ delivered by the capacitor.

At t = 0, the voltage across a 50-mF capacitor is 10 V. Calculate the voltage across the capacitor for t
> 0 when current 4t mA flows through it.
Answer:
C = 50 mF
V(0) = 10 V
Ic(t) = 4t mA for t > 0
V(t) = 1/C * ∫ Ic(t) dt
V(t) = 1/50*10-3 ∫ (4t*10-3) dt
V(t) = (4t*10-3) / (50*10-3) * t2 /2 + c
V(t) = 0.04t2 + c
At t = 0,
V(0) = 10 V because c = 10
If the voltage waveform in Fig is applied to a 30-mH inductor, find the inductor current (𝑡).
Assume (0) = 0.
Answer:
Given Voltage Waveform is applied to 30 mH inductor
The current through a 12-mH inductor is 4 sin 100t A. Find the voltage, and also the energy stored in
the inductor for 0 < t < π/200 s and sketch it.
Answer:
Given that current through 12-mH inductor is 4 sin 100t A
Voltage across inductor = VL = L di/dt
= 12*10 -3 * d(4 sin 100t) / dt
= 48*100*10 -3*cos (100t)
V L = 4.8 cos (100t)
Energy stored in the inductor = 1/2 Li2
= 1/2 * 12*10 -3 * sin2 (100t)
E = 0.96 sin 2 (100t)
If the voltage waveform is given by the figure on the right, determine the expression for the current
flowing through the inductor in the circuit shown below:
