Practice test 2

This was a question on practice test 2 that you emailed out.
2. An unforced LRC circuit has equation Q '' + R Q ' + Q / ( L C) = 0. If C = .0072 Farads and L = .02 Henries, what is the form of the general solution? If the circuit is driven by voltage V(t) = 4 volts * sin(100 rad/s * t), what is the general solution for which Q(0) = 0 and Q ' (0) = 0? Describe the behavior of the circuit in its transient stage (near t = 0) and in in the long term.

How do we solve for the general solution without knowing R???
Also, where does V(t) come in? Is that g(t) for this equation?
@&
A value should have been given for R.
A good value to assume would be R = 20 000 ohms.
V(t) is the driving voltage. The left-hand side has units of current, so the right-hand side would be I(t) = V(t) / R. You naturally need R for this expression as well.
