Parallel RL Circuit: Get Help with AC Supply & Differential Equation

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around solving differential equations for a parallel RL circuit under AC supply conditions. Participants seek help with transient solutions and the correct formulation of differential equations. Key points include the need to express the current as a combination of sine and cosine functions, with the general solution being the sum of the homogeneous and particular solutions. The importance of initial conditions in determining coefficients for the solutions is emphasized, along with the clarification that both sine and cosine can be used, but they may introduce phase shifts. The conversation concludes with participants gaining clarity on the approach to solving these equations effectively.

SGT,Thankyou very much indeed.
I think i got the stuff in my head atlast.
Thankyou. :smile:

but then sgt,i also read that ip shud be assumed as
acos(wt+phi) + bsin(wt+phi)
not Kcos(wt+phi) as the supply is Vcos(wt+phi).they need not be in phase...
i am confused now.

No, you make
i_P = K cos(\omega t + \phi_1)
where \phi_1 \neq \phi
if you make
i_P = A cos \omega t + B sin \omega t
the phase angle \phi_1 will be automatically calculated:
A = K cos \phi_1 and B = K sin \phi_1
