SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the calculation of transfer functions, specifically the output voltage (Vo) in relation to the input voltage (Vi) using the formula H(s) = sL/(sL + R + 1/sc). The user successfully derived the transfer function and confirmed the correctness of their calculations. They also provided an alternative expression for Vo, demonstrating the manipulation of terms to simplify the equation. The importance of careful parenthesis matching in these calculations was emphasized as a key factor in achieving accurate results.

j*omega = s

so for a, i got Vo = Vi * (sL/(sL+R+1/sc))
so H(s) = sL/(sL+R+1/sc) and i multiplied it by s/s to get rid of s in in denominator of the 1/sc term to get s^2*L/(s^2*L+Rs+1/c)

is this correct?

for the second one i got Vo=Vi*(1/sc)/(R*sL/R+sL)+1/sc. i did a similar thing by multiplying by s/s.

any suggestions would be appreciated.

that looks right to me. Only you need to match parenthesis carefully.

[tex]H(s) = \frac{sL}{sL+R+\frac{1}{sC}}[/tex]
[tex]Vo=Vi\frac{\frac{1}{sC}}{\frac{RsL}{R+sL}+\frac{1}{sC}}[/tex]
