Using the Laplace transform, we have
I ( s ) = ( s 2 + ω 2 ) ( ω s + 1 ) 1 0 ω = ( s 2 + ω 2 ) ( s + ω ) 1 0 ω 2
By partial fractions, this becomes
I ( s ) = ( s + ω ) A + s 2 + ω 2 B s + C
Multiplying left and right by ( s + ω ) ( s 2 + ω 2 ) yields,
1 0 ω 2 = A ( s 2 + ω 2 ) + ( B s + C ) ( s + ω )
Equating the coefficients of the powers of s on both sides of the equation, yields,
A + B = 0
B ω + C = 0
A ω 2 + C ω = 1 0 ω 2
And this linear system solves to A = 5 , B = − 5 , C = 5 ω , so that
I ( s ) = s + ω 5 + s 2 + ω 2 − 5 s + 5 ω
Taking the inverse Laplace transform, we get,
i ( t ) = 5 e − ω t − 5 cos ω t + 5 sin ω t
Now the instantaneous power through the resistor is
p ( t ) = v ( t ) i ( t ) = R i 2 ( t ) = i 2 ( t )
And the power supplied by the source is
p S ( t ) = V S ( t ) i ( t ) = ( 1 0 sin ω t ) i ( t )
So that the power supplied by the inductor is
p L ( t ) = p ( t ) − p S ( t )
Plugging in ω = 1 2 0 π and t = 0 . 0 0 8 , gives p = 3 4 . 0 1 5 0 3 6 8 6 and p S = 7 . 3 0 9 7 3 6 4 2 6 , and hence, the required fraction is
Fraction of powers = p p − p S = 0 . 7 8 5
