Hi,

I am stuck on this question...

The current source is throwing me off this, and I do not know exactly how to deal with it.

My answer seems very wrong -> V(0)/i(g) = Zr+Zl, so a hand would be greatly appreciated, as I am really stuck.

Thanks.

 

Try to use a current divider rule

Using your answer you have:

V(0) = i(g)(Zr+Zl)

But this would require that ALL of the i(g) goes through the Zr and Zl. What about the portion that goes through Zc?

I knew my answer is incorrect, as it does not make any sense.

If it was an ordinary voltage source instead of current source, you would have:

V(o)/V(i)= (Zl+Zr)/( (Zl+Zr) || Zc )

wouldn't you? So how would deal with the current source?

Sorry if I am heading in the wrong direction.

 

If it was a voltage source, then the transfer function would be exactly 1.

Think about it.

Going back to the original circuit:

Just analyze the circuit. For instance, sum up the currents going into the top node and set that equal to the currents leaving the top node. You know that the voltage on the top node is Vo. What do you get?

You are totally correct about the transfer function being 1 if it was a voltage source. (lol) But is it not possible to do a source transformation?

For the currents:
i(g) = i(c) + i(RL)

and then from there?

Sure.

For the currents:
i(g) = i(c) + i(RL)

I don't know. You haven't indicated what the reference direction for i(c) and i(RL) and I'm not a mind reader.

and then from there?

And then write i(c) and i(RL) in terms of the output voltage.

 

I tried a source transformation, am I correct in saying the source transformation would result in a voltage source V(g) followed by a series source resistance of Z(c)||( Z(r) + Z(l) )? (And then the rest of the circuit attached to this?)

I don't know. You haven't indicated what the reference direction for i(c) and i(RL) and I'm not a mind reader.

I considered both currents facing downwards.

And then write i(c) and i(RL) in terms of the output voltage.

How exactly?

 

Hi,
Maybe, I can help a bit.

I think it is right. However, what is the purpose for this?

Please see the picture:

1.What is relation between ig, I1, I2? In other words,write the equation that relates ig, I1, I2 through Kirchhoff's Current Law for node A.
2.Express I1 in terms of Vo?
3 Express I2 in terms of Vo?

Substitute I1, I2 expressions you got in #1 and #2 into #1.
Now can you derive Vo/ig?

I don't know what happen to the response I thought I had posted. Oh well.

1) What is the voltage across the capacitor?
2) What is the impedance of the capacitor?
3) What is the current through the capactor?

4) What is the voltage across the series combination of R & L?
5) What is the impedance of the series combination of R & L?
6) What is the current through the series combination of R & L?

1. i(g) = i(1) + i(2)
2. i(1) = V(o)/Z(c)
3. i(2) = V(o)/( Z(r)+Z(l) )

Substituting 2& 3 into equation #1 leads me to:

V(o)/i(g) = (R+sL)/(sCR + LC(s^2) + 1)

Is this correct?

1) V(o)
2) Z(c) = 1/sC
3) Current = V(o)/Z(c)

4) V(o)
5) Z(c)+Z(l) = 1/SC + sL
6) V(o)/(part 5)

Thank you everyone, and especially anhnha & WBahn for your help, much appreciated. I am glad I understand this problem now, it seems much more simple than I initially imagined it to be.
