We would like to use the relation V(t)=I(t)R to find the voltage and current in the circuit as functions of time. To do so, we use the fact that current can be expressed in terms of the voltage. This will produce a differential equation relating the voltage V(t) to its derivative. Rewrite the right-hand side of this relation, replacing I(t) with an expression involving the time derivative of the voltage.
Express your answer in terms of dV(t)/dt and quantities given in the problem introduction.
It appears my answer to question ii, the RMS value is incorrect as the coefficient should be 1 over pi not 1 over 2pi.
Grateful, for bit help please.
Thanks
