Electronic – Equation 20.16 Proof

Your solution (to the homogeneous as well as particular) is correct. If we solve the differential equations as usual, we need to plug in the initial conditions at \$t=0\$ while the initial conditions are given at \$t=\alpha/\omega_0\$ in the book. That is why you seemed to have ended up with an unknown \$(I_0 - I_2)\$ in your coefficients and missing a \$(-\alpha)\$ in the argument to the \$\sin()\$ and \$\cos()\$.

To try to get it into the book form, either we need to somehow apply the initial condition at \$t=\alpha/\omega_0\$ instead of \$t=0\$.

Here is one way. Knowing the answer already, let's use that to our advantage. Re-write the homogeneous (and particular) solution in the following way:

$$ \frac{d^2 i(t)}{dt} + \frac{i(t)}{LC} = 0 $$

$$ i(t) = A_1 \cos(\omega_0 t - \alpha) + A_2 \sin(\omega_0 t - \alpha)\\ \frac{d i(t)}{dt} = -A_1 \omega_0 \sin(\omega_0 t - \alpha) + A_2 \omega_0\cos(\omega_0 t - \alpha)\\ \frac{d^2 i(t)}{dt^2} = -A_1 \omega_0^2 \cos(\omega_0 t - \alpha) + A_2 \omega_0^2 \sin(\omega_0 t - \alpha)\\ $$

This re-written solution also satisfies the original homogeneous differential equation

This makes it easy to apply the initial condition defined at \$\omega_0 t = \alpha\$

$$ A_1 \cos(0) + A_2 \sin(0) + I_2 = I_2\\ A_1 = 0 $$

This means that

$$ v_2(t) = V_1 - L \frac{d i(t)}{dt}\\ v_2(t) = V_1 - L ((-0) \omega_0 \sin(\omega_0 t - \alpha) + A_2 \omega_0\cos(\omega_0 t - \alpha)) $$

Applying the other initial condition here, we get

$$ 0= V_1 - L A_2 \omega_0\cos(0)\\ A_2 = V_1/(L / \sqrt{LC}) = V_1 / (\sqrt{L/C}) = V_1/R $$

Note

This is not the only method, but, if we want to get the result into what the book has, then this method can be followed. Here, I skipped the re-writing of the particular solution since it was a constant, but it also should be re-written in a general case just like the homogeneous solution was re-written.
