ω= = = 2.5 x 103 rad/s b. The current is at its maximum I0 when all the energy is stored in the inductor. From the law of energy conservation, ×LI02 × I0 = q0 =2.5 x 103 x 1.2 10-5 = 3.0 x 10-2 A This result can also be found by an analogy to simple harmonic motion, where current and charge are the velocity and position of an oscillator. c. The capacitor becomes completely discharged in one-fourth of a cycle, or during a time T/4 where is the period of the oscillations. Since T= = = s the time taken for the capacitor to become fully discharged is /4 = s d. The capacitor is completely charged at t=0, So q(0)=q0 q(0)=q0 = q0 cos ϕ Thus, ϕ=0 , and q(t)= (1.2 10-5C) cos

The figure-1 depicts simple mechanical oscillator having mass attached to the spring. This structure is similar to Pendulum. It is also known as harmonic oscillator. Figure 1: Simple Mechanical Oscillator If a body attached to a spring is displaced from its equilibrium position, the spring exerts a restoring force on it, which tends to restore the object to the equilibrium position. This force causes oscillation of the system, or periodic motion. In this type of system body itself changes its position. For mechanical oscillation two things are especially responsible i.e. Inertia & Restoring force.
Differential Equation A particle is said to be execute simple harmonic oscillation is the restoring force is directed towards the equilibrium position and its magnitude is directly proportional to the magnitude and displacement from the equilibrium position. If F is the restoring force on the oscillator when its displacement from the equilibrium position is x, then F–x Here, the negative sign implies that the direction of restoring force is opposite to that of displacement of body i.e. towards equilibrium position. F= -kx ............. (1) Where, k= proportionality constant called force constant. An example of such a simple system is the mass m, attached to a spring of stiffness k.
Figure 2: Spring Mass System In the case of a mass on a spring, the restoring force for small oscillations obeys Hooke’s law: F=−kx, where k is the stiffness of the spring. Here the coordinate x=0 corresponds to the point of equilibrium, in which the force of gravity is balanced by the initial tension of the spring. Then, according to Newton’s second law, the movement of the mass will be described by the differential equation mx′′=−kx, ⇒x′′+ x=0. Solution of differential equation is x= Acosωt Thus, the mass on the spring will perform undamped harmonic oscillations with the circular frequency ω= The period of oscillation, respectively, will be equal to T= = 2π A similar analysis of other oscillatory system – a simple (mathematical) pendulum – leads to the following formula for the oscillation period: T=2π where L is the length of the pendulum, g is the acceleration of gravity. In the case of a compound or physical pendulum, the period of oscillation is given by T=2π where I is the moment of inertia of the pendulum about the pivot point, m is the mass of the pendulum, a is the distance between the pivot point and the center of mass of the pendulum. Example: oscillation of mass spring system, oscillation of fluid-column in a U-tube, oscillation of simple pendulum, rotation of earth around the sun, oscillation of body dropped in a tunnel along earth diameter, oscillation of floating cylinder, oscillation of a circular ring suspended on a nail, oscillation of atoms and ions of solids, vibration of swings etc.

Assuming the inductor and capacitor to be ideal (meaning resistance will be zero in the overall circuit). Initially, the capacitor C of the LC circuit carries a charge Qo and current I in the Inductor is zero. Therefore at time T = 0, the charge on the capacitor will be: q(T=0)=Qo Current Flowing: I=0 At time T = t, the capacitor now begins to discharge through the inductor. The current begins to flow in an anti-clockwise direction. Therefore the charge of the capacitor decreases, but the energy of the inductor increases. The energy gets transferred from the capacitor to the inductor. At this stage, there is the maximum value of the current in the inductor. Then the relationship between the current and the charge will be: I=− …………..(1) The negative sign is added because as the time passes from 0 to t the, charge on the plates of capacitor decreases i.e. charge decreases with respect to time and thus the dq/dt obtained will be negative and this is why we add a negative sign to make a current positive. Applying Energy Conservation Since, Heat Loss = 0 and Kinetic Energy = 0. Total energy which is constant is given by: ×+ ×LI2=Eo Now initially we had charge Qo and current flowing was zero I=0. So, the total energy at T = 0, will only be the energy stored in the capacitor and energy stored in the inductor will be zero. Eo=× Now on equating the value of total energy we get: ×+ ×LI2=× On differentiating with respect to t we get: × + ×2LI= On further calculation we get the equation as: L= Substituting the value of I from equation 1 we get: = q …………..(2) + q =0 …………..(3) + ω2q =0 …………..(4) Upon comparing (2) and (3), we have ω2 = ω = …………..(5) And now double differentiating equation 1 with respect to t we get: = I …………..(6) We can see that the above both the equation 2 and 6 of Charge and Current both represent the Simple Harmonic Motion. That is both charge and current are oscillating as a simple harmonic waves with respect to time. Solution of Simple Harmonic Motion Equation In general charge as a function of time in SHM will be given as: q(t)=Qocos(ωt) where angular frequency ω = The figure-3 depicts electrical analogy of the mechanical oscillator. This is example of electronic or electrical oscillator. There are different types of oscillators viz. RC oscillator, LC oscillator, crystal oscillator etc. |
In real systems, there is always a resistance or friction, which leads to a gradual damping of the oscillations. In many cases, the resistance force (denoted by FC) is proportional to the velocity of the body, that is FC=−cx′. Then, taking into account the force of resistance, the differential equation for the “mass-spring” system is written as mx′′+cx′+kx=0, ⇒ x′′+ x′+x=0 We introduce the following notations: =2β, = . Here ω0 is the natural frequency of the undamped oscillator (previously, we denoted it as ω), β is the damping coefficient. In the new notations, the differential equation looks like x′′+2βx′+x=0. We will seek the solution of this equation as a function x(t)=Aeλt. The derivatives are given by x′(t)=Aλeλt, x′′(t)=Aλ2eλt. Substituting this into the differential equation, we obtain the algebraic characteristic equation: Aλ2eλt+2βAλeλt+Aeλt=0, ⇒λ2+2βλ+ =0. The roots of this equation are D=4β2−4, It can be seen that depending on the sign of the radicand β2−, there may be three different types of solutions. Case 1. Overdamping or Heavy Damping: β>ω0 When resistance to motion is.very strong, the system is said to be heavily damped. Can you name a heavily damped system of practical interest? Springs joining wagons of a train constitute the most important heavily damped system. In your physics laboratory, vibrations of a pendulum in a viscous medium such as thick oil and motion of the coil of a dead beat galvanometer are heavily damped systems. In this case (the case of strong damping), the radicand is positive: β2>. The roots of the characteristic equation are real and negative. The general solution of the differential equation has the form x(t)=C1eλ1t+C2eλ2t, where the coefficients C1, C2, as usual, depend on the initial conditions. It follows from this expression that there are no oscillations and the system returns to equilibrium exponentially, i.e. a periodically (Figure 5). Figure 5: Damping Graph Case 2. Critical Damping: β=ω0 You may have observed that on hitting an isolated road bump, a car bounces up and down and the occupants feel uncomfortable. To minimise this discomfort, the bouncing caused by the road bumps must be damped very rapidly and the automobile is restored to equilibrium quickly. For this we use critically damped shock absorbers. Critical damping is also useful in recording instruments such as a galvanometer (pointer type as well as suspended coil type) which experience sudden impulses. We require the pointer to move to the correct position in minimum time and stay there without executing oscillations. Similarly, a ballistic galvanometer coil is required to return to zero displacement immediately. In the limiting case when β=ω0, the roots of the characteristic equation are real and coincide: λ1=λ2=−β=−ω0. Here the solution is given by the formula x(t)=(C1t+C2) In this mode, the value of x(t) may even increase at the beginning of the process because of the linear factor C1t+C2. But in the end the deflection x(t) decreases rapidly due to the exponential decay with a characteristic time τ=2π/ω0. Note that in this critical mode the relaxation occurs faster than in the case of the aperiodic damping (Case 1). Indeed, in this mode the relaxation time will be determined by the smaller (in absolute value) root λ1, and will be given by the formula The function Φ(β/ω0) included in this expression is monotonically increasing. It is always greater than or equal to 1, as shown in Figure 6 Figure 6: Graph of function Φ() In the critical case (Case 2) the ratio βω0 is 1, and βω0>1 in the case of the aperiodic damping (Case 1). Therefore for the aperiodic damping mode, we can write τ= Φ() > Thus, the critical damping mode provides the fastest possible return of the system to equilibrium. This is often used, for example, in door closing mechanisms. Case 3. Underdamping or Light Damping β<ω0 Here the roots of the characteristic equation are complex conjugate: λ1,2 =−β±i√ The general solution of the differential equation is oscillatory in nature and can be written as x(t)=e−βt[C1cos(ω1t)+C2sin(ω1t)] where the oscillation frequency ω1 is equal to ω1= The resulting formula can be written in a somewhat different form: x(t)=Ae−βtcos(ω1t+φ0), where φ0 is the initial phase of the oscillations and Acosφ0 is the initial amplitude of the oscillations. We see that classical damped oscillations occur in this mode. Here the oscillation frequency ω1 is less than the harmonic frequency ω0, and the oscillation amplitude decreases exponentially with e−βt.

A 7) We know that in the presence of damping the amplitude of oscillation decreases with the passage of time. This means that energy is dissipated in overcoming resistance to motion. We know that, the total energy of a harmonic oscillator is made up of kinetic and potential components. We can still use the same definition and write E(t) = K.E. + P.E. = m ()2+ kx2 where () denotes instantaneous velocity. For a weakly damped harmonic oscillator, the instantaneous displacement is given by x(t) = a0 exp(-bt) cos (ωdt +ϕ) By differentiating it with respect to time, we get instantaneous velocity: = v = a0 exp(-bt) [bcos (ωdt +ϕ) +ωd sin (ωdt +ϕ)] Hence, kinetic energy of the oscillator is K.E. = m ()2 = m a02 exp(-2bt) [bcos (ωdt +ϕ) +ωd sin (ωdt +ϕ)]2 = m a02 exp(-2bt) [b2cos2 (ωdt +ϕ) +ω2d sin2 (ωdt +ϕ) + b ωd 2sin (ωdt +ϕ)] Similarly, the potential energy of the oscillator is U =P.E.= kx2 = Since k = On substituting for x, we get U = = a02 exp(-2bt) [cos (ωdt +ϕ)]2 Hence, the total energy of the oscillator at any time t is given by E(t) = m a02 exp(-2bt) [(b2+ ω2o) cos2 (ωdt +ϕ) +ω2d sin2 (ωdt +ϕ) + b ωd 2sin (ωdt +ϕ)] When damping is small, the amplitude of oscillation does not change much over one oscillation. So we may take the factor exp (-2bt) as essentially constant. Further, since < sin2 (ωdt +ϕ) > = < cos2 (ωdt +ϕ) > = and <sin (ωdt +ϕ)> = 0, the energy of a weakly damped oscillator when averaged-over one cycle is given by <E> = < m a02 exp(-2bt) [(b2+ ω2o) cos2 (ωdt +ϕ) +ω2d sin2 (ωdt +ϕ) + b ωd 2sin (ωdt +ϕ)]> <E> = m a02 exp(-2bt) [ + ] <E> = m a02 exp(-2bt) E0 =m a02 is the total energy of an undamped oscillator. Hence, we can write <E> = Eo exp (- 2bt) This shows that the average energy of a weakly damped oscillator decreases exponentially with time. This is illustrated in Figure 7. You will also observe that the rate of decay of energy depends on the value of b; larger the value of b, faster will be the decay. Figure 7: Energy decay in a damped harmonic oscillator

This notation uses d2x/dt2, the acceleration of our object, dx/dt, the velocity of our object, ω0, undamped angular frequency of oscillation, and , which we can call the damping ratio. We solve this differential equation for our equation of motion of the system, x(t). We assume a solution in the form of an exponential, where a is a constant value which we will solve for. x(t)=eat Plugging this into the differential equation we find that there are three results for a, which will dictate the motion of our system. We can solve for a by using the quadratic equation. Fnet=a2x+γax+x = 0 = a= The physical situation has three possible results depending on the value of a, which depends on the value of what is under our radical. This expression can be positive, negative, or equal to zero which will result in overdamping, underdamping, and critical damping, respectively. > is the Over Damped case. In this case, the system returns to equilibrium by exponentially decaying towards zero. The system will not pass the equilibrium position more than once. is the Under Damped case. In this case, the system oscillates as it slowly returns to equilibrium and the amplitude decreases over time. Figure 8 depicts an underdamped case. is the Critically Damped case. In this case, the system returns to equilibrium very quickly without oscillating and without passing the equilibrium position at all. |
We derive the differential equation describing the current change in a series RLC circuit. The voltages VR,VC,VL, respectively, on the resistor R, capacitor C and inductor L are given by VR(t)=RI(t), VC(t)= VL(t)=L . It follows from the Kirchhoff’s voltage law (KVL) that VR(t)+VC(t)+VL(t)=E(t), where E(t) is the electromotive force (emf) of the power supply. In the case of constant emf E, we obtain the following differential equation after substituting the expressions for VR, VC,VL and differentiation: + I(t) =0 If we denote 2β=, = , the equation can be written as + I(t) =0 This differential equation coincides with the equation describing the damped oscillations of a mass on a spring. Hence, damped oscillations can also occur in series RLC-circuits with certain values of the parameters. The second order differential equation describing the damped oscillations in a series RLC-circuit we got above can be written as + I(t) =0 The corresponding characteristic equation has the form λ2+λ+=0. Its roots are calculated by the formulas: λ 1,2 = = = where the value of β = is called the damping coefficient, and ω0 is the resonant frequency of the circuit. Depending on the values of R,L,C there may be three options. Case 1. Overdamping: R2> In this case, both roots of the characteristic equation λ1 and λ2 and real, distinct and negative. The general solution of the differential equation is given by I(t)=C1+C2 In this mode, the current decreases monotonically approaching zero Case 2. Critical Damping: R2= This mode can be called boundary or critical. Here, both roots of the characteristic equation are equal, real and negative. The general solution is expressed by the function I(t)=(C1t+C2)e−βt=)=(C1t+C2)exp(−t) At the beginning of the process, the current may even increase, but then it quickly decreases exponentially. Figure 10: Damping graph
Case 3. Underdamping: R2< In this case, the roots of the characteristic equation are complex conjugate, which leads to damped oscillations in the circuit. The change of current is given by I(t)=e−βt(Acosωt+Bsinωt), where the value of β= is as above the damping factor, ω = is the frequency of oscillation, A,B are constants of integration, depending on initial conditions. Note that the frequency ω of damped oscillations is less than the resonant frequency ω0 of the circuit. The typical shape of the curve I(t) in this mode is also shown in Figure above.
