Assignment#3

Consider the RL circuit giving that the input is the supply voltage, V(t), and the
output is the current through the inductor, i(t). Let ! = 4, % = 1.

1) Prove that the differential equation relating the output, i(t), and the input
"#(%)
V(t) is (Hint: (! (*) = % "%
)

,-(*)
% + !-(*) = /(*)
,*

2) Determine the homogeneous solution for the system giving that - (0) =
1 and use Matlab to plot the response for 0 ≤ * ≤ 3, 45 = 0.05s.
3) Determine the particular solution for the unit step input and use Matlab to
plot the response for 0 ≤ * ≤ 3, 45 = 0.05s.
4) Compute the complete response for the unit step input giving that - (0) =
0 and use Matlab to plot the response for 0 ≤ * ≤ 3, 45 = 0.05s.
