  • I have a question about this circuit:(critically damped oscillation)
  • ![SeeMe](https://electrical.codidact.com/uploads/bcvK5rTywmz7b7MJYmqBgeV9)
  • For a critically damped oscillation for a series RLC circuit the equation of current has this form I(t)=D1te^(-at)+D2e^(-at) where D2 =I(0+) and D1-aD2 = dI(0+)/dt=VL/L.
  • In the 2nd circuit due to L1 :I(0)=I(0+)=0A and by applying KVL in VL1=-VC1=-2V
  • And by substituting the values we get D1=-2A/s and D2 = 0A and we end up with an equation of I(t)=-2te^(-0.5t) but this cant be correct.What am I doing wrong?

For a critically damped oscillation for a series RLC circuit the equation of current has this form I(t)=D1te^(-at)+D2e^(-at) where D2 =I(0+) and D1-aD2 = dI(0+)/dt=VL/L.

In the 2nd circuit due to L1 :I(0)=I(0+)=0A and by applying KVL in VL1=-VC1=-2V

And by substituting the values we get D1=-2A/s and D2 = 0A and we end up with an equation of I(t)=-2te^(-0.5t) but this cant be correct.What am I doing wrong?
