Homework Statement
In a circuit with capacitance C, inductance L and resistance R the current I(t)
satisfies the differential equation
L d2I(t)/dt2 + R dI(t)/dt + I(t)/C = V(t)
where V (t)
is the voltage supplied.
a) Find the general solution to this differential equation
for the case that the resistance can be neglected, R = 0,
and the voltage is constant, V (t) = V0.
b) Determine the solution of part a) that satisfies the initial conditions I(0) = 0 and dI/dt(0) = 0
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
As this is a linear second order ODE, with constant coefficients, I have tried calculating the homogeneous equation (place V(t)=0) but cannot seem to get an answer, and I am not sure what ansatz to use.
please help
