SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on solving first-order circuits using the private solution method. The user presents the equation i_s = Acos(wt + phase) and attempts to express the private solution as i_p = Bcos(wt + phase) = Ccos(wt) + Dsin(wt). The key conclusion is that to find the coefficients C and D, one must develop the equation Acos(ωt + φ) into the form A_1cos(ωt) + A_2sin(ωt), where f[C,D] = A_1 and g[C,D] = A_2.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of first-order circuits
  • Familiarity with trigonometric identities
  • Knowledge of phasor representation in electrical engineering
  • Basic skills in solving differential equations
NEXT STEPS

Ok, let's say I have a first order circuit with i_s = Acos(wt+phase) (like in the pic).
I'm having problem with the private solution, let's say I pick my private solution like this:
i_p = Bcos(wt + phase) = Ccos(wt) + Dsin(wt) (right?)
After I place this i_p in the equation I come up with this:
f[C,D]*cos(wt) + g[C,D]*sin(wt) = Acos(wt+phase) (right?)
Can I say
f[C,D]*cos(wt) + g[C,D]*sin(wt) = Acos(wt)?
I mean, How do I come up with C and D?

10x in advance.

I'm afraid I'm not understanding your question. What is i_p, f[C,D} and g[C,D]?

You must develop [tex]Acos(\omega t + \phi) = A_1cos(\omega t) + A_2sin(\omega t)[/tex]

Now, [tex]f[C,D] = A_1[/tex] and [tex]g[C.D] = A_2[/tex]
