Answer: a
Explanation: From the R-c circuit, we get the characteristic equation as (D+1/RC)i=-Vω/R sin⁡(ωt+θ). The complementary function of the solution i is ic = ce-t/RC.

2. The particular current obtained from the solution of i in the sinusoidal response of R-C circuit is?
a) ip = V/√(R2+(1/ωC)2) cos⁡(ωt+θ+tan-1(1/ωRC))
b) ip = -V/√(R2+(1/ωC)2) cos⁡(ωt+θ-tan-1(1/ωRC))
c) ip = V/√(R2+(1/ωC)2) cos⁡(ωt+θ-tan-1(1/ωRC))
d) ip = -V/√(R2+(1/ωC)2) cos⁡(ωt+θ+tan-1(1/ωRC))

Answer: a
Explanation: The characteristic equation consists of two parts, viz. complementary function and particular integral. The particular integral is ip = V/√(R2+(1/ωC)2) cos⁡(ωt+θ+tan-1(1/ωRC)).

3. The value of ‘c’ in complementary function of ‘i’ is?
a) c = V/R cosθ+V/√(R2+(1/(ωC))2) cos⁡(θ+tan-1(1/ωRC))
b) c = V/R cosθ+V/√(R2+(1/(ωC))2) cos⁡(θ-tan-1(1/ωRC))
c) c = V/R cosθ-V/√(R2+(1/(ωC))2) cos⁡(θ-tan-1(1/ωRC))
d) c = V/R cosθ-V/√(R2+(1/(ωC))2) cos⁡(θ+tan-1(1/ωRC))

Answer: d
Explanation: Since the capacitor does not allow sudden changes in voltages, at t = 0, i = V/R cosθ. So, c = V/R cosθ-V/√(R2+(1/(ωC))2) cos⁡(θ+tan-1(1/ωRC)).
