Engineering Circuit Analysis: International Student Version, Tenth Edition

Chapter 14. APPLICATION OF THE LAPLACE TRANSFORM TO CIRCUIT ANALYSIS

THE LEARNING GOALS FOR THIS CHAPTER ARE:

• Understand s-domain representations of basic circuit elements, including initial conditions

• Be able to construct the s-domain circuit for an electric circuit

• Be able to apply circuit analysis techniques to solve for voltages and/or currents in an s-domain circuit and know how to use the inverse Laplace transform to determine the voltages and/or currents in the time domain

• Know how to determine the transfer function for an s-domain circuit

• Be able to calculate a circuit's response to unit step and impulse functions using a transfer function

• Know how to calculate the steady-state response of a circuit to a sinusoidal source using a transfer function

Undersea Robotic Vehicles Robots explore Earth's frontiers where no human can go—deep beneath the seas. Undersea robotic vehicles make repairs at ocean depths, collect data for oceanographers, and operate with efficient propulsion systems. In environments unsuited for manned crafts, these undersea vehicles can attempt to cap a gushing oil spill, examine exotic flora on the ocean's bottom, or produce a geological mapping of volcanic hot spots. Whether roaming the decks of the sunken Titanic nearly 25 years ago or navigating the sea floor over three miles below the surface off the Pacific Northwest today, undersea robotic vehicles conduct ...
