Example 4.16
The switch of the circuit of Figure 4.70 closes at t = 0, assuming that the circuit is ini-
tially relaxed, obtain analytical expressions of i(t), vl(t), vr(t), and vc(t) for t ≥ 0.
Create the script MATLAB fi le RLC_series that returns the analytical and symbolic
(Laplace) plots of i(t), vl(t), vr(t), and vc(t), over the range 0 ≤ t ≤ 10 s. Also verify KVL
given by
v(t) = vl(t) + vr(t) + vc(t) over the given time range
v(t) = 10sin(3t)
