Tutorial on Second Order Systems - Part 5
The initial current i(0+) = i0 = 0. The initial capacitor voltage is -80V. The circuit is redrawn below for the situation after the switch is opened.
We will need to find i'(0) (the derivative of i at t = 0). We can do this by first finding vL(0+).
What is vL(0+)?
