Acircuit consists of a 6 ohm resistor, a 0.2 farad capacitor, and an ac voltage source supplying v(t) = 120 cos(20 t) volts. write the differential equation for the charge on the capacitor. write a formula for the solution, assuming q(0) = 0.

q = 24 cos (20t) (1- e (-t / 1.2))

Explanation:

To work this circuit we use the mesh equation (Kirchoff) that states that the voltage in a closed circuit is zero

           Vg + Vr + Vc = 0

Where Vg is the generator voltage, Vr the resistance voltage and Vc the capacitor voltage

         Vg = 120 cos 20t  = V

         Vr = i R

         Vc = q / C

We see that in one term we have the current (i) and in another the load (q), but there is a relationship between the two

         i = dq / dt

Let's replace in the initial equation

       V + R dq / dt + q / C = 0

Reorder the terms

      Rdq / dt + q / C - V = 0

      dq / dt + q / rC - V / R = 0

      dq / dt = V / r -q / RC

       dq / (V / R -q / RC) = dt

we integrate

     ∫I dq / (V / R - 1 / RC q) = ∫ dt

We change variables

      u = (V / R - 1 / RC q)

      du = -1 / RC dq

     ∫ dq / (V / R - 1 / RC q) = -RC ∫ du / u

     -RC ln u = -RC ln (V / R - 1 / RC q)

We evaluate between the limits of integration, the lower t = 0 q (0) = 0

     -RC [ln (V / R - 1 / RC q) - ln (V / R)] = t

     [ln (V / R - 1 / RC q) - ln (V / R)] = -t / RC

     Ln (V / R - 1 / RC q) / (V / R)] = -t / RC

     Ln (1 - 1 / VC q)) = (-t / RC)

     Ln (VC- q) = ln (VC) (-t / RC)

     VC-q = VC e (-t / RC)

     q = VC - Vc e (-t / RC)

     q = VC (1- e (-t / RC)

We substitute the values they give us

      q = (120 cos (20t) 0.2) (1- e (-t / 6 0.2))

      q = 24 cos (20t) (1- e (-t / 1.2))

the answer is to check all of them! they all apply well at least i think so!

with the invention of the automobile, the woman of the house could drive to the store and get groceries. women were also free to socialize more. during world war ii women were allowed to work in factories to the war effort and could drive to work or ride mass transit buses to their jobs.
