SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on finding voltage (V) and current (I) in equivalent circuits using Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) and Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL). The user solved the problem but expressed confusion about whether to express their answers in terms of the independent variable 't' or to find specific values for 't'. It is clarified that 't' is an independent variable and should be included in the final expressions for V and I, as it represents time measured from a chosen point.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL)
  • Understanding of Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL)
  • Basic knowledge of circuit analysis
  • Familiarity with independent variables in mathematical expressions
NEXT STEPS
  • Study advanced applications of KVL and KCL in circuit analysis
  • Learn about time-domain analysis in electrical circuits
  • Explore the concept of independent variables in mathematical modeling
  • Investigate equivalent circuit transformations and their implications
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineering students, circuit designers, and anyone involved in circuit analysis and modeling who seeks to deepen their understanding of KVL and KCL methods.

Homework Statement


the problem asks to find V & I so the two circuits are equivalent ,,

i solved it by using KVL & KCL but my answer is in term of t ! my question is Do they really have values ? i mean ,do i have to find t firstly ? or just write them in term of t only ?

thanks

t is an independent variable and so will appear in your answer. t is measured from any point in real time you choose.
