Math Problem Statement

If Vc(t) = 4Cos105t V in the circuit given below then find Vs(t)?

Solution

We are given a simple series RLC circuit with the following information:

  • VC(t)=4cos(105t)V_C(t) = 4 \cos(105t) V (capacitor voltage)
  • Inductance L=2mH=2×103HL = 2 \, \text{mH} = 2 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{H}
  • Capacitance C=80nF=80×109FC = 80 \, \text{nF} = 80 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{F}
  • We are asked to find VS(t)V_S(t), the source voltage.

Step 1: Analyze the circuit

Since this is an RLC series circuit, the total voltage VS(t)V_S(t) is the sum of the voltage across the inductor VL(t)V_L(t), the capacitor VC(t)V_C(t), and any resistor (though there doesn't seem to be a resistor in this case, we assume the resistance is negligible).

The relationship between the current and voltages in an RLC circuit is given by:

  • Voltage across the inductor: VL(t)=LdI(t)dtV_L(t) = L \frac{dI(t)}{dt}
  • Voltage across the capacitor: VC(t)=1CI(t)dtV_C(t) = \frac{1}{C} \int I(t) \, dt
  • The current through the inductor and capacitor is the same, as they are in series.

Step 2: Obtain the angular frequency

From the given capacitor voltage VC(t)=4cos(105t)V_C(t) = 4 \cos(105t), we see that the angular frequency ω=105rad/s\omega = 105 \, \text{rad/s}.

Step 3: Find the impedance of the inductor and capacitor

  • The impedance of the inductor ZL=jωL=j(105)(2×103)=j0.21ΩZ_L = j\omega L = j(105)(2 \times 10^{-3}) = j0.21 \, \Omega
  • The impedance of the capacitor ZC=1jωC=1j(105)(80×109)j119.05ΩZ_C = \frac{1}{j\omega C} = \frac{1}{j(105)(80 \times 10^{-9})} \approx -j119.05 \, \Omega

Step 4: Calculate the total impedance

The total impedance ZtotalZ_{total} is the sum of the inductor and capacitor impedances:

Ztotal=ZL+ZC=j0.21j119.05=j118.84ΩZ_{total} = Z_L + Z_C = j0.21 - j119.05 = -j118.84 \, \Omega
