RC circuit differential equations

[gjfelix2001]

Hi everyone...

I need to solve the differential equations of a RC circuit given a voltage and a current pulse. I have to get this responses:

I'm using matlab, with runge kutta. I've been solving the equations separately changing the initial conditions and the value of current and voltage, but i want to know if there is a way to get the response solving the differential equations only once??

By the way, the differential equations I'm trying to solve are

\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{1}{C}(i(t)-\frac{V}{R})

and

I = \frac{dQ}{dt}=\frac{1}{R}(V-\frac{Q(t)}{C})

How should i solve this equations in order to get the responses showed in the pictures?

Do you know how to use Laplace transform to solve differential questions?

RC circuit: is this the right equation?

Hi everybody, I'm trying to solve the equation:

I(t) = \frac{dQ}{dt}=\frac{Q(t)}{CR}-\frac{V}{R}

in order to get this graph (V changes to simulate the pulse)

I'm not getting this response, and I've checked my program (runge kutta) with a current pulse and works ok... So the only way I'm not getting what i want is that the differential equation I'm solving is wrong. Please, can you tell me the correct equation?? Thanks!

If you drew the circuit you cared about I think we could help. Trying to "reverse engineer" what you are really interested in is a lot to ask!
