Homework Equations
[tex]V_L = L\frac{dI_1}{dt}[/tex]
[tex]V_L + V_1 + V_2 + V_{R1} = 0[/tex]
The Attempt at a Solution
[/B]
Just using basic KVL, shouldn't [itex]V_L = -V_2 - V_1 - V_{R1}[/itex] and so therefore we should get
[tex]\frac{dI_1}{dt} = \frac{-V_2 - V_1 - V_{R1}}{L}[/tex] and not
[tex]\frac{dI_1}{dt} = \frac{V_2 - V_1 - V_{R1}}{L}[/tex]
which is what the question is asking us to find...it would appear then that the capacitors have opposing polarities...why?
