Network Elements and the Concept of Circuit

  1. What will be the value of i (t) for t > 0, the circuit shown in figure?


    1. [1 – (– 2.5)] e – 1 / .01 – .25
    2. [1 + (– 2.5)] e – 1 / .01 + .25
    3. does not exist
    4. 5 u (t – 1)
Correct Option: A

For t > 0 2 u (– t) ⇒ not exist while 50 u (t) → exist, so the circuit becomes like

i (∞) = -
50
= – 2.5 amp.
20

i (0) = i (0+) = 1 amp.
τ =
L
=
.2
= .01
R20

we know that
i (t)=[i (0) – i (∞)] e –t / τ + i (∞) .....(i)
on putting the values in equation (i), we get
i (t) = [1 – (– 2.5)] e – t .01 – 2.5
