Network Elements and the Concept of Circuit

  1. For the figure given below which of these sets of E, R and C value will ensure that the state equation dVc / dt = 1.25 VC + 2 is valid—


    1. 2 V, 1 Ω, 1.25 F
    2. 1.6 V, 0.8 Ω, 1 F
    3. 1.6 V, 1Ω, 0.8 F
    4. 2 V, 1.25 Ω, 1 F
Correct Option: E

We know that current across capacitor is given by the relation

i = C
dv
....(i)
dt

Applying KVL to the given circuit
E = iR + VC

E = RC
dVC
+ VC
dt

E
-
VC
=
dVC
.....(ii)
RCRCdt

on comparing equation (ii) with the given standard equation
dVC
= 1.25 VC + 2 ....(iii)
dt

from equations (i), (ii) and (iii), we get
E
= 2 and
VC
= 1.25
VC ⇒ RC =
1C
.....(ii)
RCRC1.25

E = 2RC = 2 ×
1
= 1.6
1.25

RC =
1
= 0.8 given in option (B) and (C)
1.25
