In the circuit s closed for a long time and steady state is reached. s is opened at t = 0+ Determine current through resistor.
Answer : Option B
Explanation :
Steady state with s closed.
C is open Is = 4.
This source current is divided between two resistors Ω and 1 Ω.
Across 1 Ω, C is open, I in 1 Ω is = 1 A.
Hence voltage across C is 1 V. The initial charge on C is V0 = 1 V.
At t = 0+, s is opened bringing R = 1 Ω into the circuit.
C is replaced by 1 V source with positive polarity left.
The circuit has two sources Is = 4 and V0 = 1.
The currents in the resistor R = and R = 1 can be determined by superposition.
For R =
Due to Is only (short V0)
I = Is x= 3
Due to V0 only (open Is)
I == Downwards
Adding, current through R = is 3= .
