Question

RC Circuits - Linear outputs and inputs

Consider a modification of the RC filter that we discussed in class, where we additionally use an inductor L > 0 in the circuit. The governing system of equations is given by LC(d2v/ dt2(t)) + RC(dv/dt (t)) + v(t) = u(t), where u us the input voltage, t ∈ T ⊂ R, L, C, R > 0, and v is the output voltage. Provide answers to the followings:


(i) Find the output v in terms of u (take the initial conditions as you wish). Note that the solution to this second-order linear differential equation, which I suggest writing as a system of linear equations, will depend on the parameters R, C, and L; in particular, there will be three cases that you need to consider.


(ii) Is the solution linear in input? Can the output, in the cases above, be obtained as a convolution? 


(iii) Now, select some values for R, L, and C as you wish. For each case of your solution above, using Matlab or whatever software you wish, plot the output of an input voltage that is constant for positive times, and zero otherwise. Do you believe that the properties you have observed are particular to your choices of R, L, and C? Give a justification
