1- Natural Behavior of Coil-Capacitor-Resistor Circuit  Natural Response of RLC Circuit

The study of the natural discharge of the circuit means finding the relationship of the voltage on the components of the connected circuit in parallel when the energy stored in the coil or capacitor is released. The circuit shown in Figure (1) can be used, where the initial value of the voltage on the capacitor V0 expresses the energy stored in the capacitor, and the initial current I0 in the coil expresses the energy stored in the coil.


Figure (1)

The natural behavior will be determined by finding the differential equations of voltage v by aggregating the current at the top point and calculating the current in terms of voltage as follows:

2- Calculating the temporal disposition of the state of sudden change of a resistor-coil-capacitor circuit in parallel

 Step Response of Parallel RLC Circuit

This part involves finding the voltage in the case of a sudden application of a voltage source. Figure (2) shows the circuit used in the analysis.


Figure (2)

The focus will be on the current in the file iL as it represents the final value of the current drawn from the source, and it will be assumed that there is no energy stored in the circuit. A quadratic differential equation needs to be solved and by applying Kirchhoff's law of current, we get:

Solving the equation:

The equation can be solved in terms of the initial values of the function iL(0)  and diL(0)/dt,  and thus we get a solution that includes two parts: the natural behavior and the imposed behavior.

       i = If + function of the same form as the natural response      (10)

or

      v = Vf + function of the same form as the natural response     (11)

where if and vf are the final values of the function.

 

3- Calculate the natural time disposition of the coil-capacitor-resistor circuit respectively

The natural responses of a series RLC circuits

The normal temporal behavior can be calculated by analyzing the circuit shown in Figure (3), and we start by calculating the voltage in the closed circuit as follows:


                            
 (12)

Differentiating with respect to time, we get: 


                               
 (13)


                              
 (14)

The special equation for the department can be found as follows:  


                                                
 (15)

The roots of the equation are as follows:



                  (16)

or


         
                                 (17)

The Nieper frequency  (α)  can be found as follows: 


                                         
 (18)

And the frequency of ringing:


                                    
 (19)

There are three solutions for the current:

 


                      
(overdamped)           (20)


(underdamped)         (21)


                  
(critically damped)   (22)

 

4- Calculating the temporal disposition of the state of sudden change of a resistor-coil-capacitor circuit respectively

 Step Response of Series RLC Circuit

The solution method is similar to the circuit in parallel, but the solution is done in relation to the voltage on the capacitor, and the circuit shown in Figure (4) will be used in the analysis with the assumption that the energy initially stored is equal to zero.


Figure (4)

Applying Kirchhoff's law of effort yields:


                                                 (23)

The current i is related to the voltage on the capacitor vC in relation to:


                                                  (24)


                                           (25)


             (26)

There are three solutions:


     (overdamped)                                      (27)



   (underdamped)    (28)



            (critically damped)             (29)

where Vf is the final value of the voltage on the capacitor vC,  which as shown in Figure 5 will be equal to the source voltage V.


Example (5):

The initial energy stored in the circuit is zero. At t = 0, a dc current source of 24 mA is applied to the circuit. The value of the resistor is 400 Ω.

1)     What is the initial value of iL?

2)     What is the initial value of diL/dt?

3)     What are the roots of the characteristic equation?

4)     What is the numerical expression for iL(t) when ?

 


Solution:

1)     Since the initial current in the inductor is zero, the inductor prohibits an instantaneous change in its current. Therefore IL(0) = 0 immediately after the switch has been opened.

2)     The voltage at the capacitor is zero at t = 0. Because v = L diL/dt, then:

                                       


3)     From the circuit elements, we obtain:

                                       


    and

                                       


    Because


, the roots of the characteristic equation are real and distinct, thus:

                                       


4)     The inductor current response will be overdamped. Thus:

                               


Hence, from this solution, the two simultaneous equations which determine


and

 are:

                               


                               


Solving for


and



gives:

                               


     and     

The numerical solution for iL(t) is

                               



Example (6):


No energy is stored in the inductor or the capacitor when the switch is closed. Find vC(t) for


.

 

Solution:

The roots of the characteristic equation are

                               


The roots are complex, so the voltage response is underdamped. Thus

                               


No energy is stored in the circuit initially, so both vC(0) and dvC(0+)/dt are zero. Then:

                                               


and

                                               


Solving these two equations:

                               


        and     

Therefore the solution for vC(t) is
