Finding initial conditions with capacitor and inductor substitutions

jojoba · Mar 31, 2009

This is the circuit at t(0-); Initial conditions need to be determined:

Capacitor is replaced by an open circuit and inductor is replaced with a short circuit:

These are the initial conditions I get:

I through inductor (0-) = 3 A

V across capacitor ( 0-) = 0 ( in parallel w/ SC)

Am I missing something? This is not making any sense to me.
