EXAMPLE 16.1.1
Consider a diode circuit with anRLCload, as shown in Figure E16.1.1, and analyze it fori(t)
when the switchSis closed att=0. Treat the diode as ideal, so that the reverse recovery time
and the forward voltage drop are negligible. Allow for general initial conditions att=0 to have
nonzero current and a capacitor voltagevC=V 0.

Note that the capacitor will be charged to the source voltageVSunder steady-state conditions,
when the current will be zero. While the forced component of the current is zero in the solution
