Derive time-dependent current for circuit

[0specificity]

Homework Statement

Derive an expression for the current I(t) as a function of time for the following circuit:

____ \____
|..... |
&..... -
& .....-
| ...|
___________

This circuit may be a bit unclear - the && is an inductor L, the - - is a capacitor C, and the top part is a switch that is open for t<0 and closed at t=0. And the ... are filler.

What do you mean by filter?

1. Use Kirchoff's Voltage Law (sum of voltages around the loop of the circuit):2. However, we need to determine the voltage across the inductor and capacitor.
Just do research, the voltage of the inductor is:

V_L = Ldi/dt

V_C = (1/C) integral (idt)3. Using KVL: Ldi/dt + (1/C)integral(idt) = 04. We need to turn this one to differential equations. So we differentiate term by term

Ld^2i/dt^2 + (1/C)i = 05. Use methods of differential equation to solve for i with respect to t.

Lm^2 + (1/C) = 0

m^2 + 1/(L*C) = 0; m = +- j/(L*C)

I(t) = Acos(t/(LC)) + Bsin(t/(LC))6. The constants A and B can be derived using initial conditions.
