2b Explain conditions of initial and final condition of switching circuit for elements
R and L
Ans: Consider a resistor is connected to a voltage source, using a switch as shown in 4
fig. Below
Examination Paper Analysis for ECN (22330)
The switch is closed at time t = 0, so we get V= i*R which is time independent equation.
Here current changes as per voltage without any time delay. There is no change in the
value of resistor R, it remains same for initial condition and final condition.
Concept of Initial and final condition in switching circuits for L: Consider a inductor is
connected to voltage source as shown in fig below:
The property of inductor is to oppose any change in current. So the current through an
inductor cannot change instantaneously. There are 2 cases. i) If no initial current is
passing through inductor, then at t= 0+, it acts as open circuit. The final condition is
given by the equation V L =L di/dt. At t=∞, it acts as short circuit.
ii) If initial current is passing through inductor, then at t= 0+, it acts as constant current
source of value I 0 . At t=∞,( final condition),the inductor acts as current source of value
Io in parallel with short circuit.(I 0 is the current in inductor just before switching)

Consider the network shown below
In the above figure, When the switch is closed. The voltage is applied to the resister.
For the switch, t=0 indicates that switch is closed at t=0. i.e., the switch takes zero time
to close from open condition. The network conditions at this instant (at t=0) are called
initial conditions.
If the switch is on at t=0 and the network remain without switching action for long
time. Then the network conditions at this instant at t=∞ are called final conditions or
steady state conditions
The time immediately before the switching action is denoted by t=0-
The time at which the switch is closed is denoted by t=0
The time just after the switching action is denoted by t= 0+

Ans: The graph shows I for a circuit with a large resistance (lower curve) and for one
with a small resistance (upper curve). A circuit with low R, for a given L and C, has a
sharp resonance. Increasing the resistance makes the resonance less sharp. The former
circuit is more selective: it produces high currents only for a narrow bandwidth, i.e. a

If an ac voltage of constant magnitude ‘V’ and variable frequency is applied across a RLC
series circuit as shown above.
If the supply frequency is changed the value of XL = 2πfL and XC = 1/2πfC also changes.
When the frequency increases, the value of XL increases, whereas the value of
XC decreases. Similarly, when the frequency decreases, the value of XL decreases and the
value of XC increases.
At a particular frequency, the inductive reactance XL becomes equal to the capacitive
reactance XC.
The frequency at which XL = XC is called resonant frequency.
