Circuit Analysis And Design 3E – Fawwaz Ulaby (1)

6-2.2 Discharging Mode If instead of starting out with an uncharged RLC circuit, we were to start with a fully charged capacitor, as depicted by the circuit in Fig. 6-4(c), and then discharge it by moving the SPDT switch from terminal 1 to terminal 2, the voltage υC(t) across the capacitor will decay from its initial value, Vs, to a final value of zero volts. The specific path between Vs and zero again depends on the value of α relative to that of ω0, as shown in Fig.
6-4(d). In fact, the three responses of the discharging RLC circuit are essentially mirror images of those for the charging-up circuit; the initial and final conditions of the circuit in Fig. 6-4(a) are the converse of those for the circuit in Fig. 6-4(c). The capacitor voltage of the charging-up circuit starts at zero and concludes at 24 V, in contrast to the discharging circuit that starts at 24 V and concludes at zero. Now let us consider an RLC circuit in which the capacitor has 12 V across it (due to some previous charging-up action), and then a switch is closed to connect the RLC segment to a (a) At t = 0− + _ t = 0 υC(0−) (b) After t = 0 υC decreases from 36 V to reach 24 V after a long time + _ (c) Long after closing the switch υC(∞) = 24 V i = 0 + _ Figure 6-6: Connecting a series RLC circuit with a charged-up capacitor to a source with lower voltage.
source with Vs = 24V, as shown in Fig. 6-5(a).After closing the switch(Fig.6-5(b)),thesituationissuchthatVs = 24Vexceeds the initial voltage of 12 V across the capacitor. Consequently, charge will flow to the capacitor to build up its voltage, and will continue to do so until the capacitor reaches the maximum possible voltage, namely Vs = 24 V. When it reaches that state, the current goes to zero (Fig.
6-5(c)). The scenario in Fig. 6-6 depicts a similar circuit, but one that starts with a capacitor whose initial voltage υC(0−) is 36 V, which is higher than that of Vs = 24V.
