Solve the circuit in Fig. 10.5-9(a) for the current through the switch as a function of time.
SOLUTION
In this example, the two meshes in the circuit interact after t 0. We can solve this circuit
in many ways – branch-current method, mesh analysis, Thevenin’s equivalent, etc., are
some possibilities. First, we solve it by branch-current method.
Various branch currents in the circuit are identified in Fig. 10.5-9(b). We have to
get a differential equation in the current variable i.
Applying KCL at the switch node gives us i
