Interactive Simulation
The operation of the circuit can be simulated as shown below. In order to
simulate, the solution for current is presented in the following form, where
t = (wL)/R. Then
Again it is preferable to normalize. Here E is set to unity and E/R is also
set to unity. Then
vs = sin (wt).
vo = i for 0 < wt < b,
vL = vs - i for 0 < wt < b
To solve the expression, all we need to know is then the ratio t.
The applet shown below simulates this circuit. You have to key-in the ratio
t and then click on the button next to it. Do not
key-in
NaN.
