SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on deriving the voltage v(t) across the impedance Z in a series circuit consisting of a 0.5H inductor, a 0.01F capacitor, a second 0.5H inductor, and a 10Ω resistor, driven by the current source i(t) = 10cos(10t). The impedance Z(s) is determined to be (s + 100)/(s + 10), and the frequency-dependent impedance Z(jω) is expressed as j((ω² - 100)/ω) + 10. The correct approach to find v(t) involves using Ohm's Law in the s-domain, specifically V(s) = I(s)Z(s), and applying the Laplace transform to the current to derive I(s) before calculating the voltage.
