Hi,
Here is my reworked version of your code. I removed your comments and
inserted mine indicating the changes.
i[t_] := If[t < 10 || t > 60, 0, 1]
Plot[i[t], {t, 0, 100}, PlotStyle -> {Red, Thick}]
RCSoln1[R_, c_: 1, v0_: 0] =
DSolve[{v'[t] == 1/c (i[t] - v[t]/R), v[0] == v0}, v[t], t][[1, 1=
,
2]];
(*Removed N, DSolve can do it fine. Picked the v[t] out of the \
solution using Part. Using Set (=) instead of SetDelayed (:=) means \
we don't have to use Evaluate in the Plot command. It's often quicker
\
too. *)
Plot[RCSoln1[1], {t, 0, 100}, PlotStyle -> {Red, Thick},
MaxRecursion -> 9]
(* Now the solution can be used directly. Increased MaxRecursion to \
improve the plotting of the discontinuity *)
RCSoln1a[R_, c_, v0_] =
DSolve[{v'[t] == 1/c (i[t] - v[t]/R), v[0] == v0}, v[t], t][[1, 1=
,
2]];
(* Same as above. Also removed use of default values here. It would \
result in ambiguous calling possibilities: in your definition with \
RCSoln1a[R_: 1,c_,v0_: 0] RCSoln1a[2,3] would have worked, but which \
variable now gets its default value? Is it RCSoln1a[2,3,0] or \
RCSoln1a[1,2,3]? The only unambiguous use of default values would be
\
to use them at the end*)
Show[
Plot[RCSoln1a[1, 1, 0], {t, 0, 100}, PlotStyle -> {Blue, Thick},
MaxRecursion -> 9],
Plot[RCSoln1a[1, 5, 0], {t, 0, 100}, PlotStyle -> {Red, Thick},
MaxRecursion -> 9]
]
Manipulate[
Plot[RCSoln1a[R, c, 0], {t, 0, 100}, PlotStyle -> {Blue, Thick},
MaxRecursion -> 9]
, {R, 1, 5}, {c, 1, 5}]
(* There were so many syntax errors in your version of this line of
code that I feel that either you don't have Mathematica 6 or 7, which
is required for Manipulate or you have syntax coloring switched off,
which you shouldn't do. *)
