Introduction

There are many reasons for studying initial and nal conditions. The most important reason is that the initial and nal conditions evaluate the arbitrary constants that appear in the general solution of a differential equation. In this chapter, we concentrate on nding the change in selected variables in a circuit when a switch is thrown open from closed position or vice versa. The time of throwing the switch is considered to be t = 0, and we want to determine the value of the variable at t = 0 and at + t = 0 , immediately before and after throwing the switch. Thus a switched circuit is an electrical circuit with one or more switches that open or close at time t = 0. We are very much interested in the change in currents and voltages of energy storing elements after the switch is thrown since these variables along with the sources will dictate the circuit behaviour for t > 0. Initial conditions in a network depend on the past history of the circuit (before t = 0 ) and structure of the network at t = 0+ , (after switching). Past history will show up in the form of capacitor voltages and inductor currents. The computation of all voltages and currents and their derivatives at t = 0+ is the main aim of this chapter.

Initial and final conditions in elements

4.2.1 The inductor

The switch is closed at t = 0. Hence t = 0 corresponds to the instant when the switch is just open and t = 0+ corresponds to the instant when the switch is just closed. The expression for current through the inductor is given by

The above equation means that the current in an inductor cannot change instantaneously. Consequently, if i(0 ) = 0, we get i(0+ ) = 0. This means that at t = 0+ , inductor will act as an open circuit, irrespective of the voltage across the terminals. If i(0 ) = Io , then i(0+ ) = Io . In this case at t = 0+ , the inductor can be thought of as a current source of Io A. The equivalent circuits of an inductor at t = 0+ is shown in Fig. 4.2.

4.2.2 The capacitor

The switch is closed at t = 0. Hence, t = 0 corresponds to the instant when the switch is just open and t = 0+ corresponds to the instant when the switch is just closed. The expression for voltage across the capacitor is given by

4.2.3 The resistor

The causeeffect relation for an ideal resistor is given by v = Ri. From this equation, we nd that the current through a resistor will change instantaneously if the voltage changes instantaneously. Similarly, voltage will change instantaneously if current changes instantaneously.

4.3

Procedure for evaluating initial conditions

There is no unique procedure that must be followed in solving for initial conditions. We usually solve for initial values of currents and voltages and then solve for the derivatives. For nding initial values of currents and voltages, an equivalent network of the original network at t = 0+ is constructed according to the following rules: (1) Replace all inductors with open circuit or with current sources having the value of current owing at t = 0+ . (2) Replace all capacitors with short circuits or with a voltage source of value vo = is an initial charge. (3) Resistors are left in the network without any changes.

SOLUTION

The symbol for the switch implies that it is open at t = 0 and then closed at t = 0+ . The circuit is in steady state with the switch open. This means that at t = 0 , inductor L is short. Fig.4.7(b) shows the original circuit at t = 0 . Using the current division principle, 2 1 = 1A iL (0 ) = 1+1

Figure 4.7(b)

Since the current in an inductor cannot change instantaneously, we have


iL (0

) = iL (0 ) = 1A

At t = 0 , i1 (0 ) = 2 1 = 1A. Please note that the current in a resistor can change instantaneously. Since at t = 0+ , the switch is just closed, the voltage across R1 will be equal to zero because of the switch being short circuited and hence,
i1 (0

) = 0A

Thus, the current in the resistor changes abruptly form 1A to 0A.


EXAMPLE 4.2

Refer the circuit shown in Fig. 4.8. Find vC (0+ ). Assume that the switch was in closed state for a long time.

Figure 4.8

SOLUTION

The symbol for the switch implies that it is closed at t = 0 and then opens at t = 0+ . Since the circuit is in steady state with the switch closed, the capacitor is represented as an open circuit at t = 0 . The equivalent circuit at t = 0 is as shown in Fig. 4.9.

Since the voltage across a capacitor cannot change instaneously, we have

EXAMPLE 4.3

Refer the circuit shown in Fig 4.10. Find iL (0+ ) and vC (0+ ). The circuit is in steady state with the switch in closed condition.

Figure 4.10
SOLUTION

The symbol for the switch implies, it is closed at t = 0 and then opens at t = 0+ . In order to nd vC (0 ) and iL (0 ) we replace the capacitor by an open circuit and the inductor by a short circuit, as shown in Fig.4.11, because in the steady state L acts as a short circuit and C as an open circuit. 5 =1A 2+3 Using the voltage divider principle, we note that

SOLUTION

The symbol for switch K implies that it is in position 1 at t = 0 and in position 2 at t = 0+ . Under steady-state condition, inductor acts as a short circuit. Hence at t = 0 , the circuit diagram is as shown in Fig. 4.16. 20 = 2A 10 Since the current through  an inductor cannot change instantaneously, i 0+ = i (0 ) = 2A. Since there is no initial charge on the capacitor, vC (0 ) = 0. Since the voltage across  a capacitor cannot change instanta+ neously, vC 0 = vC (0 ) = 0. Hence at t = 0+ the circuit diagram is as shown in Fig. 4.17(a). For t 0+ , the circuit diagram is as shown in Fig. 4.17(b).

SOLUTION

The symbol for switch K implies that it is in position 1 at t = 0 and in position 2 at t = 0+ . Under steady-state condition, a capacitor acts as an open circuit. Hence at t = 0 , the circuit diagram is as shown in Fig. 4.18(a). We know that the voltage across a capacitor cannot change instantaneously. This means that Figure 4.18(a) + = v (0 ) = 40 V. vC 0 C At t = 0 , inductor is not energized.  This means that i (0 ) = 0.

Due to the presence of u( t) and u(t) in the circuit of Fig.4.30, the circuit is an implicit switching circuit. We use the word implicit since there are no conventional switches in the circuit of Fig.4.30. The equivalent circuit at t = 0 is shown in Fig.4.31(c). Please note that at t = 0 , the independent current source is open because u(t) = 0 at t = 0 and the circuit is in steady state.
