RLC Series Circuit. In the study of an electrical circuit consisting of a resistor, capacitor, inductor, and an electromotive force (see Figure 1), we are led to an initial value problem of the form Ldt2d2q?+Rdtdq?+Cq?=E(t);q(t0?)=q0?,I(t0?)=I0? where L is the inductance in henrys, R is the resistance in ohms, C is the capacitance in farads, E(t) is the electromotive force in volts, q(t) is the charge in coulombs on the capacitor at time t, and I=dtdq? is the current in amperes. Find the current at time t if the charge on the capacitor is initially zero, the initial current is zero, L=10H,R=20?,C=(40)?1F, and E(t)=100V. Figure 1 RLC Series Circuit
