Circuit with time varying current

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a circuit problem involving resistors, capacitors, and an inductor, where the poster seeks verification of their solution. Participants emphasize the need for a clear and complete problem statement to facilitate accurate feedback. There is confusion regarding the circuit's description, particularly about the symbols used for the generator and whether the problem pertains to steady-state conditions. Suggestions are made to utilize complex impedance for solving the circuit and to improve clarity by using LaTeX for equations. Overall, a better understanding of the problem is deemed essential for effective assistance.

Would it be possible for someone to double-check my answer for accuracy? I would greatly appreciate any feedback or guidance on this matter.

How about using LATEX ?

I always try to do that. I apologize for not using it this time. Is the handwriting too difficult to read? I'm aware that people may be hesitant to download PDFs, which is why I shared an image file in the original post.

You could also improve the thread by posting the complete, verbatim problem statement. I strongly suspect 'At time t=0, the circuit is closed. Determine the steady current... ' is a confusing rephrasing.

Could it be that there is nothing that closes at t=0 and the exercise asks for the steady state solution ?

Before t=0 the key was open. At t=0 the key is closed. That's what I meant.
 
How come I don't see no key ? Please

as per PF guidelines

You appear to be familiar with complex impedance etc. So why not work out ##\bf I = V/Z## ?

I forget to draw that. The problem is not stated in any English book, So I cannot give you a screenshot of that book or sth like this. This problem was stated by my Professor and I translated it in English. Sorry if some information is missing. This is all I remember from the question. I'm not good at writing lecture notes.

I wanted to use KVL law to solve. I just realize that working with the equation you stated is better here, because we have only one battery. Thanks.
 
The solution provided by the original poster in the post #2 is confusing at the beginning. In the circuit diagram the symbol, which is used for the generator, is a symbol for a current source, but in the equations the expression $$ 2\sin(2t+\frac{17}{9}) $$ is used as an expression for a voltage source.

I just found that why my answer in OP is wrong. Thank you for your help @BvU ...

Your post shows that I should only use LATEX , That's not ##17/9## , it was ##\pi /4##!
And you're right. I shouldn't have changed that symbol.

Without a clear understanding of the question it's not possible to have a meaningful discussion of the answer.

I suggest you sketch the circuit the best you can and state the problem the best you can. Then we can help you solve that problem, whether or not it's an accurate description of the professor's question. That’s the best we can do.
