1.0. INTRODUCTION

Electric circuits can consist of a wide variety of complex components. These may be set up in
series, or in parallel, or even as combinations of both. In this laboratory, however, we'll be
considering only series circuits with especially simple components: resistors, inductors, and
capacitors, along with some form of voltage supply.

The mathematics required to deal with such circuits goes a little beyond your high-school
physics usage of Ohm's Law. After all, in these circuits the quantities of interest may be changing,
and change implies that rates of change may get involved. It looks like once again will be seeing
equations involving derivatives—differential equations. The figure below shows a simple series
circuit in which one of each of the components.

Figure 1.0 Simple series circuit

In this figure, each of the unknown have the following meanings. Figure 1.1 shows the meaning
of the unknown.

L is a constant representing inductance, and is measured in henrys

R is a constant representing resistance, and is measured in ohms

C is a constant representing capacitance, and is measured in farads

E represents the electromotive force, and is measured in volts. It is not

necessarily a constant, and may be a function of time

Figure 1.1 Meaning of the unknown

 Although they don't appear in the figure, there are a few other quantities that will be
involved in analysis the show in Figure 1.2.

q represents charge, and is measured in coulombs

I represents current, and is measured in amperes

t represents time, and is measured in seconds

Figure 1.2 Meaning of the unknown

Kirchoff's second law states that “The sum of the voltage drops across each component in a circuit
is equal to the voltage, E, impressed upon the circuit” is the relationships over time between these
quantities.

Obviously then, in order to make use of this statement, the voltage drop across each component.

The inductor: produces a voltage drop of L dI/dt, or LI′.

The resistor: produces a voltage drop of RI.

The capacitor: produces a voltage drop of q/C.

Figure 1.3 Component

Restating Kirchoff's second law in abbreviated form, will get the following sum of the voltage
drops = E. Which may be restated as in Figure 1.4.

inductor voltage drop + resistor voltage drop + capacitor voltage

drop = E,
Figure 1.4 Equation
Into which we may substitute the actual voltage drops that mentioned above, to get the following
equation as shown in Figure 1.5.

(1) LI′ + RI + q/C = E.

Figure 1.5 Equation of substitute actual voltage

But, also according to physics, I = q′, so substituting, can rewrite the equation purely in
terms of the charge, q, rather than a mixture of charge and current as shown in Figure 1.6.

(2) Lq″ + Rq′ + q/C = E,

Figure 1.6 Equation of substitute I = q’

Or alternatively, if differentiate equation (1) and use the same substitution, get an equation purely
in terms of current that shown in Figure 1.7.

(3) L I″ + R I′ + I/C = E′.

Figure 1.7 Differentiate of equation 1

We will be mainly concerned with using the last of these three equivalent forms. Notice
that equation (3) is linear with constant coefficients, so in the case when
E′ = 0, (the homogeneous case), it may be solved very easily, even by hand. The form of E′ will
determine the method necessary when solving the non-homogeneous case by hand. We would
need to use either undetermined coefficients, or variation of parameters.

Week: 6
Date: from 18/03/18 to 22/03/18

1. Reflect on your group/personal weekly learning experience;

Book / article read: Differential Equations for Engineering Students.

Other learning activities: 1) Create a group and discuss about the topic.
2) Brainstorming about the topic for our group.

2. Reflect on your group / personal weekly activities / performance;

End of this discussion, we get a better understanding about the first and second order of
the differential equation. Apart of that, we can devising the suitable problem to solve by using the
first or second order of the differential equation. Each of member gave their understanding about
the topic given. We collected few information that can be used in future.
