Surely that is NOT your code; it has at least four misspellings and two fatal syntax errors -- == where you need = (as in Soleq = ...) and the comma before [[1]]. If you ran that code, you'd see error messages, not just a constant plot. This works, however: i[t_] := If[t < 10 || t > 60, 0, 1] eq = v'[t] == i[t]/c; c = 1; soleq = v[t] /. First@NDSolve[{eq, v[0] == 0}, v[t], {t, 0, 100}]; Plot[soleq, {t, 0, 100}] I'd also suggest THIS for the first line: i[t_] := Boole[10 <= t <= 60] Bobby On Thu, 16 Jun 2011 23:09:13 -0500, J and B <noslowski at comcast.net> wrote: > I am trying to solve a very simple circuit, one that has only a > capacitor in > it.
