    Engineering Understanding the Role of Capacitors in RC Circuits

    Homework Statement What causes integration of V_{in} within an RC circuit?Homework Equations Z= R + X_C = R - j/(ωC) Z is the impedance of the circuit, j=(-1)^.5, ω is angular frequency, and C is the capacitance. The Attempt at a Solution I think integration is the capacitor's way of...

    How do I setup an equation for the acceleration constraint?

    I see that L = 2x_a + y_b + C The problem comes when I try to put that in terms of something I can differentiate. How would you do it?
