Solve RLC Circuit Problem Homework

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving an RLC circuit homework problem, with participants expressing confusion about the question and the visibility of an attached image. The use of Kirchhoff's law is suggested, along with the idea that after a long time, the capacitor will be fully charged, simplifying the circuit to just resistors. Participants emphasize the importance of embedding images directly in the forum to avoid broken links and ensure clarity. There is also a suggestion to analyze the circuit by suppressing reactive components to focus on the steady-state conditions. The conversation highlights the need for clear communication and proper image sharing in online problem-solving forums.

Homework Equations


RLC equations:

q= Qmax e ^ -Rt/2L cos wd t

wd = [ 1/LC - (R/2L)^2] ^ 1/2

The Attempt at a Solution


So, I am trying using Kirchoff law, but not sure what the question asks.
I thought it may be a trick and after a long long time C will be fully charged and L will act as a simple wire, so it will be a simple circuit with Resistors.

I added a imgur link. Can you open it now?
 
Your image isn't showing up for me either and I see no link. Your best bet is to embed the image here directly, not with a link.
 
I don't know.
For me, there's a link and shows the image. Don't know how it's not showing.

Yes, the phrase "after a sufficiently long time" is a typical hint used in problems to refer to the eventual steady state conditions. Suppress the reactive components as you suggest and analyze the resulting resistor network.

It is always better to load your images to our server here so that helpers do not have to follow off-site links to see your problem.

Off-site links have a tendency to get broken over time, or have their content removed, making their threads less than useful to future members seeking information.
 
Thank you.

Im in doubt should i remove the C and keep it as a RL circuit or both of them. Sorry my bad. I will add them properly

Open (remove) the C and short the L.
