Because of the high maintenance needed to monitor and filter spammers from the RF Cafe Forums, I decided that it would
be best to just archive the pages to make all the good information posted in the past available for review. It is unfortunate
that the scumbags of the world ruin an otherwise useful venue for people wanting to exchanged useful ideas and views.
It seems that the more formal social media like Facebook pretty much dominate this kind of venue anymore anyway, so if
you would like to post something on RF Cafe's
Facebook page, please do.
Below are all of the forum threads, including all the responses to the original posts. adamzaman Post subject: RLC circuit Unread postPosted: Wed Mar 16, 2005 8:30 am Ok, I am having a problem with a RLC circuit and my teacher was unable to offer a satisfactory explanation. Hope that you'll help. Consider a DC battery, a switch, a resistor, a capacitor and an inductor in series. Before t=0 the switch is open and assume that the circuit has achieved steady state. This means that the capacitor voltage is 0 and so is the inductor current. At t=0 the switch is closed. It follows that at t=0+ (i.e. just after t=0) the capacitor voltage will be 0 and so will the inductor current. It also follows that the voltage across the inductor at t=0+ will be V, i.e. the voltage of the source (the capacitor is acting as short-circuit and the inductor as open circuit). Therefore the rate of change of current in the circuit at t=0+ will be some positive value (from v=L di/dt). But the rate at which the capacitor voltage is increasing is ZERO at t=0+ (from i=C dv/dt; i=0). How could the rate of increase of current in the inductor be non-zero, but the rate of increase of voltage in the capacitor be zero? If one is increasing, shouldn't the other as well? Please explain in physical terms and not mathematical. I'll be highly grateful.

But the rate at which the capacitor voltage is increasing is ZERO at t=0+ (from i=C dv/dt; i=0)." How do you get this statement? There is current charging the capacitor the moment the switch is flipped. It is limited by R but it is not 0. Posted 11/12/2012 | ||||||
