Control problem. Transfer function of an electrical system

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on deriving the transfer function of an electrical system, with the correct answer being UR(s)/U(s) = 1/(s+2). One participant attempts to apply Kirchhoff's voltage law and Laplace transforms but struggles with the calculations. There is confusion regarding the use of time-domain functions alongside frequency variables in the equations presented. Clarifications are sought on the application of Kirchhoff's current law and the validity of certain terms in the equations. The conversation highlights the complexities involved in accurately modeling electrical systems using transfer functions.

1. Electrical system given. Find a transfer function. Correct answer UR(s)/U(s)=1/(s+2)

2. My attempt
Use Kirchhoff's voltage law u(t)-i(t)*R1-UR(t)=0; u(t)=i(t)R1+uR(t); apply Laplace Transform (L.T.) U(s)=I(s)R1+UR(s)

i(t)=i1(t)+i2(t)=1/L*\intuR(t) dt+uR(t)/R2; take a L.T. assuming zero initial conditions I(s)=1/(L*s)*UR(s)+UR(s)/R2=UR(s)[1/(L*s)+1/R2]; since L=R1=R2=1 I(s)=UR(s)*(1/s+1); UR(s)=I(s)/(1/s+1)

H(s)=HR(s)/U(s)=[I(s)/(1/s+1)]/[I(s)R1+UR(s)]=[I(s)/(1/s+1)]/[I(s)+I(s)/(1/s+1)]=[1/(1/s+1)]/[1+1/(1/s+1)]=s/(1+2s)

Where am I making a mistake?

I'm not going to look through your nonlatex work but I'll post a set up that should be correct.

\frac{u_R(t)-u(t)}{R_1}+\frac{u_R(t)}{sL}+\frac{u_R(t)}{R_2}=0

I am assuming you are using the Kirchhoff's current law?

I agree with everything, except the frac \frac{u_R(t)}{sL}.Can you, please explain, how does this results in current? How can you have a time domain function in the numerator and a frequency variable in the denominator?
