AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around challenges in solving a series circuit modeling problem involving multiple differential equations. The user has formulated equations but is unsure about initial conditions and algorithms for numerical solutions, particularly for systems with multiple unknown functions. Suggestions include reducing the equations using known relationships and taking derivatives to simplify the problem. There is a need for resources that specifically address numerical solutions for systems of differential equations rather than single-variable cases. The conversation emphasizes the complexity of integrating multiple variables and finding a systematic approach to derive solutions for the circuit variables over time.

I'm learning circuit modeling recently, and got stuck by a simply serial circuit sample(shown in the attachment), here're equations I wrote for the sample, but I have no idea what initial conditions and algorithm I can use to solve it, could anyone give me a hand or some tips?

i_{21}+{\int_0}^t \frac{V_3-V_1}{L} d\tau =0
i_{12}+\frac{GND-V_2}{R} =0
{\int_0}^t \frac{V_1-V_3}{L} d\tau + C \cdot (\frac{dGND}{dt}-\frac{dV_3}{dt}) =0
C \cdot (\frac{dV_3}{dt}) + \frac{V_2-GND}{R}=0

where GND=0 V is constant, I see that i_{12}=-i_{21} can be used to reduce the equations, but then the remaining equations are 2nd order diff equations, how do computers solve this?

{\int_0}^t \frac{V_2-V_1}{L} d \tau = \frac{-V_2}{R}
{\int_0}^t \frac{V_1-V_3}{L} d\tau + C \cdot -\frac{dV_3}{dt} =0
C \cdot (\frac{dV_3}{dt}) + \frac{V_2}{R}=0

I just read some tutorial of numerical solutions, but the easily found materials are all about ordinary diff equations of only 1 unknown function, could anyone tell me some tutorial that shows the idea to multiple unknown functions' diff equation(numerical solution)?

i guess you're stuck at integrating those diads like (V2 - V1) and (V1 - V3) ?]


Uhm... I don't think this is the main issue here, take derivatives of these diff equations, then

\frac{V_2-V_1}{L}=-\frac{dV_2}{R \cdot dt}

\frac{V_1-V_3}{L}+C \cdot -\frac{d^2V_3}{dt^2}=0

C \cdot \frac{dV_3}{dt}+\frac{V_2}{R}=0

and want to get numerical solutions for V_1(t),V_2(t),V_3(t).
 
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'
Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'
Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
