I selected AK Jairath textbook because it goes back to 1992, when this engineer first
published this book. 2nd edition in 1994, and reprinted in 1996.

Solutions & Problems in Control System. May not be in circulation now. I ts a small
book. Concise similar to Schaums (Supplementary), its not a main textbook. Chapter
1 is Transfer Functions. All the problems in chapter 1 are are made up of R L C
components. So this was in line with my/our starting plan to stay within the electric
circuits corridor. First keep things simple. So if you asked why, thats the reason I
selected this chapter. We did some theory-examples in transfer function at end of
Part B, so its best to do them first since these are fresh in minds.

Got an oppurtunity to work with RLC components in the transfer function and
secondly control systems context, why waste it. So I did these few example problems.

AK Jairath: The transfer function of a system is the ratio of Lapalce transforms of

the output and input quantities, initial conditions being zero. When a physical system
is analysed, a mathematical model is prepared by writing differential equations with
the help of various laws. An equation describing a physical system has integrals and
differentials. The response can be obtained by solving such equations.

The steps involved in obtaining the transfer function are:

1. Write differential equations of the system.

2. Replace terms involvingƀby s and ϣ

d
Ϥ dt by 1/ s. < - - - Applies to L & C.
dt L and C from RLC was worked in
electric circuits.
3. Eliminate all but the desired variable. See notes bottom next page.

Chp 1 Problem 1-1:

Derive the transfer function

of the circuit shown in
figure to the left.

Solution:

First thing is its a series circuit. We do a voltage conservation. Meaning

the sum of voltages add to zero. You call that Kickoff's OR Kickout's Law.

The output is across the capacitor terminals.

The input is supply voltage for the resistor and capacitor.

v_i ( t ) = R Έ i ( t ) + v_C ( t ) i(t) is the circuit's current.

ƀϣ
1
Set v_o ( t ) = v_C ( t ) = Ϥ i dt
C

v_i ( t ) = R Έ i ( t ) + v_o(( t )

Now we convert the expression above to the s-domain.

Which in control systems textbook they say 'Taking the Laplace transform'.
Laplace Transforms starts with transfer functions in the s-plane or in terms of
complex frequency. So, thats why we used a Controls textbook. Same.

V i ( s)) = RI ( s)) + V 0 ( s))

Vo(s) is that voltage across the capacitor C terminals, which we can

set this in the s-domain of the capacitor.

Έ I ( s))
1
V o ( s)) = ƀƀ < - - - C: 1/ sC, and i(t): I(s).
sC
Its more than forming a loop equation, we want to all the required variables
in the expression so we can form that Vo(s)/Vi(s).

How do we know what all terms and their forms we need before we can
get to forming a transfer function?

Keep working in more and more example problems, partially looks like a
guess, but after a few examples we get the general idea.

The Electrical Engineering expressions for defining components are formed in

such a way that they have a future in advanced math where they can be
manipulated in various ways to take full benefit of the math resulting in some
output that serves a circuit's purpose - Karl Bogha.

Chp 1 Problem 1-3:

We seek the transfer

function Vo(s)/ Vi(s) ?

Solution:

Conservation of voltage means something else?

I am not sure, when conserved it would remain the same.
So the sum equal zero in a loop. That for me is conserved.
Maybe they used it for something else. Usuall I am not the first.

We kickoff with the voltage conservation.

Next, in a cleaver way, we pull in the v_o(t) relationship thru the capacitor

Voltage mesh/loop equations in Laplace:

Left loop:

V i ( s)) = Z1I 1 ( s)) + Z2 ( I 1 ˕ I 2))

V i ( s)) = I 1 ( s)) ( Z1 + Z2)) ˕ Z2I 2 ...Eq 1

Right loop:

0 = Z2 ( I 2 ˕ I 1)) + Z3I 2 ( s)) + Z4I 2 ( s))

0 = ˕Z2I 1 + I 2 ( s)) ( Z2 + Z3 + Z4)) ...Eq 2

Next we form an expression for Vo:

V o ( s)) = Z4I 2 ( s)) ...Eq 3

If I am correct, from these few examples we seen, we want to place

one expression for current, into the the other equation, then work
towards the transfer function, provided we have Vo(s) and Vi(s) in
that expression to work with.
Here, I1(s) looks the better simpler choice to place in Eq 2.
Because we do not have a voltage source on the RHS.
Then we set Vo(s) for Z4I2(s).
Then work with the equation which can fit-in Vo, Vi, and I1 and I2 in it.
If we dont have it yet continue re-hashing.
What you think, that's the plan? Of course!

0 = ˕Z2I 1 + I 2 ( s)) ( Z2 + Z3 + Z4)) ...Eq 2

I 1 ( s)) Z2 = I 2 ( s)) ( Z2 + Z3 + Z4))

Chp 1 Problem 1.11:

Problem 1.11 comes here because this problem has a similar transfer function to
problem 1.6. As indicated in the problem statement of 1.11. The changes being
only in the arrangement of components, that being the swap between R and C.
Determine the transfer function relation Vo(s) to Vi(s) for the circuit.
Calculate output voltage t> > 0 for a unit step voltage input at t= 0.

In 1.6 we used the impedance Z to construct the transfer function. Later we

plugged in the values for Z's. So thats why this transfer function is relevant.

Few attempts to find a substitute for R2I2(s) was not obtained.

The equation, voltage conservation, by the author-engineer did not include the i2(t)
expression for R2. The engineer is taking i1(t) as a known current or on its own.
So there is no need for R2(i1(t) - i2(t)), rather just R2i1(t).
The engineer's solution stated the assumption current distribution as shown below.
I did it taking two loops, mesh equations, until I knew why. Otherwise the
assumption would not been clear to me. Thus I leave it as it is, with correction
continued below.

Chp 1 Problem 1.12:

Determine the transfer function relating Vo(s) to Vi(s) for network above.
Calculate the output voltage, t> > 0, for a unit step voltage input at t= 0, when
C1 = 1 uF, R = 1 M Ohm, C2 = 0.5 uF and R2 = 1 M Ohm.

Solution:

Circuit re-sketched for applying sum of voltage in a loop method.

Kickoff's Voltage Law, KVL, usually what the electrical engineer calls.

Amplifier gain e2(t)/e1(t) = 1. Therefore e1(t) = e2(t).

The circuit has a voltage input v_i(t), and to the output side of the
amplier is a voltage gained e2(t) this is similar to supplying voltage to the
circuit to the right of the ampliffier.

We proceed with KVLoop on the left and right, and we equate the
resistor R1 voltage for e1(t).

Calculate the output voltage, t> > 0, for a unit step voltage input at t= 0:

Since its unit step voltage input the initial conditions for t< 0 = 0.
So i(-0) = i(0+ ...just near 0) = 0 and
v(-0) = v(0+ ...just near 0) = 0 v(+ + ) = 1

The short method may give the impression there is no relationship with the
components like that established in the longer method. However, the transfer
function's definition is just that, output divided by input. Do consider the circuit's
components and connections, and carefully construct the equations.

The remaining part on the output voltage same as completed following the long
method of the transfer functions.

Chp 1 Problem 1.13:

Determine the transfer function of the electrical network above:

Solution:

C1 = C2, the question did not show C1 and C2, rather C.

To ease tracking the solution they were made into C1 and C2.

The basic steps we first started with provided here again, these steps were
much the same to what we did in the previous problems.

The steps involved in obtaining the transfer function are:

1. Write differential equations of the system.

2. Replace terms involvingƀby s and ϣ

3. Eliminate all but the desired variable.

In my a equation above there is (1/ s^ 2C) this is not in the textbook anwer.
Textbook answer below does not have B term (1/sC) maybe this was negligible to the
overall function because it becomes huge in the denominator, and when it divides
the numerator its small or negligible. Usually C is in microFarad units. This may also be
the case for (1/ s^ 2C) in the A term. Except for this my result is the same.

You solve it for yourself if you see a need.

You can sort it with your local lecturer/engineer.
