INSTRUCTIONS
There are 12 multiple choice worth 5 points each;
there is 1 workout problem worth 40 points.

This is a closed book, closed notes exam. No scrap

paper or calculators are permitted. A transform table and
properties table are attached at the back of the exam.

All students are expected to abide by the usual ethical

standards of the university, i.e., your answers must reflect
only your own knowledge and reasoning ability. As a
reminder, at the very minimum, cheating will result in a
zero on the exam and possibly an F in the course.

Workout Problem (40 points): Consider the circuit below in which

vC (0! ) = iL (0! ) = 0 .

(a) (10 pts) For 0 ≤ t < 10,

V (s)
(i) (3 pts) Find the transfer function H1(s) = C ;
Vin (s)
V (s)
(ii) (4 pts) Find the transfer function H 2 (s) = out .
2VC (s)
V (s)
(iii) (3 pts) Find the transfer function H (s) = out
Vin (s)

(b) (10 pts) For 0 ≤ t < 10, compute vC (t) and vout (t) .
(c) (5 pts) Approximate vC (10! ) and iL (10! ) .
(d) (5 pts) Draw the equivalent circuit valid for 10 ≤ t.
(e) (10 pts) For 10 ≤ t, compute vout (t) .

Solution. (a) (i) (3 pts) H1(s) = = =
Vin (s) 1 s+2

Vout (s) 4 0.25s
(ii) (4 pts) H 2 (s) = = =

V (s) 0.5s 2 s
(iii) (3 pts) H (s) = out = ! =
Vin (s) s + 0.5 s + 2 (s + 0.5)(s + 2)

2 60 A B 30 30
(b) (i) (5 pts) VC (s) = Vin (s) = = + = ! . Hence
s+2 s(s + 2) s s + 2 s s + 2
EE-202, Ex 2, page 12

vC (t) = 30(1 ! e!2t )u(t) V, 0 " t < 10

s 30 20 20
(ii) (5 pts) Vout (s) = Vin (s) = = ! . Hence
(s + 0.5)(s + 2) (s + 0.5)(s + 2) s + 0.5 s + 2

vout (t) = 20(e!0.5t ! e!2t )u(t) V, 0 " t < 10

(c) By inspection, vC (10! ) " 30 V (2 pts) and iL (10! ) = 60 A (3 pts). Exact numbers
are wrong here and only get 1 pt total because the student did not follow directions
and/or failed to exercise engineering judgment in approximating.

(d) (5 pts) Equivalent Circuit is:

(e) (10 pts) Writing a node equation for Vout (s) yields:

" 60 % !10s " 2 % " s2 + 2s + 2 %

$# 30 ! e = s ! 2 + + 4 V (s) = $ ' Vout (s) (3 pts)
s '& $# s '& out $# s '&
Hence

s " 60 % !10s (s + 1)e!10s e!10s

Vout (s) = $ 30 ! e = 30 ! 90 (4 pts)
(s + 1)2 + 12 # s '& (s + 1)2 + 12 (s + 1)2 + 12

Thus for 10 ≤ t ( 3 pts)

vout (t) = 30e!(t!10) cos(t ! 10)u(t ! 10) ! 90e!(t!10) sin(t ! 10)u(t ! 10) V

or equivalently
( )
vout (t) = 30e!(t!10) cos(t ! 10) ! 3sin(t ! 10) u(t ! 10) V
