v2 (t) = −190(e212.7t − e−28.82t )u(t)µV
v2 (1ms) = −50.26µV
v2 (100ms) = −190(e21.27 − e−2.88 )µV
v2 (10s) = −190(e2127 − e−288 )µV

we need to excite the circuit using an external current source of I amperes between a and b.

3. Let us consider the currents in each loop (from top left loop to bottom left loop in clockwise direction)
as i1 , i2 , i3 , i4 respectively. Assume the direction of current in every loop to be clockwise.
By inspection, KVL equations in Laplace domain can be written as:

Also, V1 = sC , where C = 2F

4. Before switch closed capacitor charges upto source voltage 7.2 V.So current flowing in circuit is 0.
After closing the switch inductor is replaced with its impedance and as capacitor having initial condi-
tions,it can replaced in two ways
i)Equivalent admittance in parallel with current source.

5. Let the node between 20Ω and 14Ω resistors be the node 1 and the node between 14Ω and Z be node
2.
By inspection, the nodal equations in Laplace domain can be written as:

 1 1 1 −1
   s 
20 + 8s + 14 14 V1 20(s+1)(s+2)
−1 1 s =
14 14 + 12 V2 0

Solving,
12 s2
V2 =
(s + 1)(s + 2)(34s2 + 47s + 30)

6. Let the source voltage be denoted as vs (t). Applying KCL,

Vc (s) − Vs (s) Vc (s) Vc (s)

+ + =0
50 sL 1/sC

Vc + + sC =
50 sL 50
On solving, we get Vc (S) = Vs (S).
∴ vc (t) = vs (t)

In this circuit, let the node between 2KΩ resistor and the current controlled voltage source be numbered
as 2. The node between the current controlled voltage source and the 1V source is numbered as 3.
