Solution: I apologize that you found the computations a bit harder than expected. The inten-
tion was not to stretch you on computations, rather the form of the answer is more important.
Notice also that, this problem was part of Tutorial 5, except for an additional 10 resistance.
As we discussed in class, let us assume that the switch was closed at time t = 0. Then, by
writing loop equations for iA and iB shown above for t > 0,

V (t) = 10(iA + iB ) + 20iA + iA ( )d (1)

It is simple to notice that the initial current through the inductor is 3A and the capacitor
voltage is 60V . Taking Laplace transform and denoting d = C1 = 106 , we will get

where IA and IB are the transforms of iA (t) and iB (t) respectively. The solution to IA and IB
can now be computed.

Notice that the polynomial shown in the denominator is
where 30 and 33330. (I re-iterate that finding , is not the important thing, you
can simply leave it as and , however, it is important to know that both and are positive
numbers, which is straight forward to check.)
Let us find IB first.
