Engineering Homework regarding getting the differential equations of the RLC circuits

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on deriving the differential equations for an RLC circuit as part of a homework assignment. The user is tasked with formulating these equations to input into MATLAB Simulink but is struggling with the process. It is suggested to start by applying Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) and Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) to the circuit. Given the presence of two energy storage elements, a second-order ordinary differential equation (ODE) is expected. The conversation emphasizes the need for clarity in setting up the equations to facilitate simulation in MATLAB.

Homework Statement


here is the circuit >>> http://www.4shared.com/photo/F3ewfm_3/22_online.html
the whole question is here >>> http://www.4shared.com/document/Qwxgzq78/Circuits_for_Modeling.html
whats assigned to me is #22.

anyways, what we need to get here is the differential equations for the state variables because were going to input the equations in matlab-simulink eh. and I am having a hard time getting the differential equations of the circuits

Starting writing equations from KVL's and KCL's.

You have two energy storage devices so you should expect a 2nd order ODE.
