Definition 1: The Laplace Transform

Let f be a function defined for t 0. Then the integral

L f (t ) e st f (t )dt
0
is said to be the Laplace Transform of f , provided the integral
converges.

6) In an RLC series circuit as shown in figure below, R = 10 , L = 1 H, C = 0.02 F, and

the voltage source is E = 100 V.

Determine the current i (t ) in the circuit by using Laplace Transforms if at the

initial time i (0) 0, i(0) 95 and q (0) 0.1 C.

Hint: Note that

Hint: Use completing the square to simplify I (s ).
