AI Thread Summary
To find v(t) across the impedance Z in the given series circuit, the correct approach involves using the Laplace transform. The impedance Z(s) is derived as (s + 100)/(s + 10), and the current i(t) = 10cos(10t) must first be transformed into the s-domain to obtain I(s). The voltage V(s) can then be calculated using the formula V(s) = I(s)Z(s). After obtaining V(s), the final step is to perform an inverse Laplace transform to find v(t). This method ensures the correct relationship between voltage, current, and impedance is maintained throughout the calculations.

Homework Statement



I've been given a series circuit with a .5H inductor .01F cap, .5H inductor and 10Ω resistor in series.

This circuit is connected to a source i(t) = 10cos(10t) and I need to find v(t) across Z

Homework Equations


From the givens I've found the Z(s) to be s+100/s+10 and Z(jω) to be j((ω^2-100)/ω)+10

The Attempt at a Solution



I believe I need to use Ohm's law V=IR to find V. So if I multiply j((ω^2-100)/ω)+10 by 10cos(10t) I should get a v(t) but I think I'm doing something wrong with this.

what you need to do is make sure you are in the s-domain, so V(s) = I(s)Z(s), you need to perform laplace transform to the current output to obtain I(s), then you can multiply that with the frequency dependent impedance, then finally get your answer from the inverse laplace of the product
