Second, the amplitude of the oscillation is decreasing exponentiallyl If we take, |
for instance, the real part of (24.16), we get |
gì = Ae~ 1/2 eosu,f. (24.17) |
--- Trang 431 --- |
This is very mụuch like our guessed-at solution (24.10), except that the frequency |
really is «¡„. This is the only error, so i% is the same thing——we have the right |
idea. But everything is no all rightl What is not all right is that £here ¡s another |
solution. |
The other solution is œ¿, and we see that the diference is only that the sign |
OŸ ¿J„ 1s reversed: |
#ạ = Be~7/2e~1sat, (24.18) |
What does this mean? We shall soon prove that if z¡ and #a are each a possible |
solution of Eq. (24.1) with ?' = 0, then z¡ + #a is also a solution of the same |
cquation! So the general solution #+ is of the mathematical form |
œ=e 2U2( Aelsst + Be~ +), (24.19) |
Now we may wonder why we bother to give this other solution, since we were |
so happy with the frst one all by itself. What is the extra one for, because |
Of course we know we should only take the real part? We know that we must |
take the real part, but how did the rmafhematics know that we only wanted the |
real part? When we had a nonzero driving force #{f), we put in an artjicial |
force to go with it, and the #naginarw part of the equation, so to speak, was |
driven in a delnite way. But when we put #{£) = 0, our convention that # |
should be only the real part of whatever we write down is purely our own, and |
the mathematical equations do not know it yet. 'Phe physical world høs a real |
solution, but the answer that we were so happy with before is not real, it 1s |
cormmplez. 'The equation does not know that we are arbitrarily going to take the |
real part, so 1t has to present us, so to speak, with a complex conjugate type of |
solution, so that by putting them together we can maœke a truhụ real solution; |
that is what œ¿ is doïng for us. In order for z to be real, Be~“»† will have to be |
the complex conjugate of Ae*“+f that the imaginary parts disappear. So it turns |
out that Ö is the complex conjugate of A, and our real solution is |
a=e TU2( Aesst+ A*esst), (24.20) |
So our real solution is an oscillation with a phase shft and a damping—just as |
advertised. |
24-3 Electrical transients |
Now let us see If the above really works. We construct the electrical circuit |
shown in Fig. 24-2, in which we apply to an oscilloscope the voltage across the |

inductance Ù after we suddenly turn on a voltage by closing the switch Š. lt is an |
oscillatory circuit, and it generates a transient of some kind. It corresponds to a |
circumstance in which we suddenly apply a force and the system starts to oscillate. |
Tt is the electrical analog of a damped mechanical oscillator, and we watch the |
oscillation on an oscilloscope, where we should see the curves that we were trying |
to analyze. (The horizontal motion of the oscilloscope is driven at a uniform speed, |
while the vertical motion is the voltage across the inductor. “The rest of the circuit |
1s only a technical detail. We would like to repeat the experiment many, many |
tỉimes, since the persistence of vision is not good enough to see onÌy one trace |
on the screen. So we do the experiment again and again by closing the switch |
60 times a second; each time we close the switch, we also start the oscilloscope |
horizontal sweep, and it draws the curve over and over.) In Figs. 24-3 to 24-6 we |
see examples of damped oscillations, actually photographed on an oscilloscope |
sereen. Pigure 24-3 shows a damped oscillation in a circuit which has a high @, a |
small y. It does not die out very fast; it oscillates many times on the way down. |
But let us see what happens as we decrease @, so that the oscillation dies out |
more rapidly. We can decrease @ by increasing the resistance # in the circuit. |
When we increase the resistance in the circuit, i9 dies out faster (Eig. 24-4). |
'Then ïf we increase the resistance in the circuit still more, it dies out faster still |
(Fig. 24-5). But when we put in more than a certain amount, we cannot see any |
oscillation at alll "The question is, is this because our eyes are not good enough? |
TÍ we increase the resistance still more, we get a curve like that of Fig. 24-6, which |
does not appear to have any oscillations, except perhaps one. Now, how can we |
explain that by mathematics? |
The resistance 1s, of course, proportional to the + term in the mechanical |
device. Specifically, + is //E. NÑow iŸ we increase the + in the solutions (24.14) |
and (24.15) that we were so happy with before, chaos sets in when +/2 exceeds |
œg; we must write i% a different way, as |
y~/2+iVW^2/4—,u$ and y/2— iv^22/4- uậ. |

Those are now the two solutions and, following the same line of mathematical |
reasoning as previously, we again fñnd two solutions: e'*“f and e?%2†, Tf we now |
substitute for œ, we get |
z— Ae—(/3†V3/4— s8): |
a nice exponential decay with no oscillations. Likewise, the other solution is |
+ — Be-(%/2~V^2/4-ui)t. |
Note that the square root cannot exceed +/2, because even IŸ «o = 0, one term |
jusi equals the other. But ø is taken away from +2/4, so the square root is less |
than +/2, and the term in parentheses is, therefore, always a positive number. |
Thank goodnessl Why? Because ïf it were negative, we would find e raised to a |
postfiue factor tỉìmes ‡, which would mean it was explodingl In putting more and |
more resistance into the cireuit, we know it is not going to explode—qulite the |
contrary. So now we have ©wo solutions, each one by itself a dying exponential, |
but one having a much faster “dying rate” than the other. 'Phe general solution is |
of course a combination of the two; the coefficients in the combination depending |
upon how the motion starts—what the initial conditions of the problem are. In |
the particular way this circeuit happens to be starting, the A is negative and the |
B 1s positive, so we get the diference of bwo exponential curves. |
Now let us discuss how we can fnd the two coefficients A and Ö (or Aand 4Š), |
1ƒ we know how the motion was started. |
Suppose that at # = 0 we know that ø = zo, and đz/đ# = 0ọ. TÝ we put £= 0, |
% = #ọ, and d+/đt = 0ọ into the expressions |
+ — e~1⁄2(Aefsat + A*e a9, |
da /dt = e~1⁄2[(—+x/2 +4) Aezf + (—+/2T— iax„) A*e a1, |
we fnd, sinee e? = e9 =1, |
#o= A+ A4” =2An, |
