The Heaviside function H is defined by

It is used in the study of electric circuits to represent the sudden surge of electric current, or voltage, when a switch is instantaneously turned on.

(a) Sketch the graph of the Heaviside function.

(b) Sketch the graph of the voltage V(t) in a circuit if theswitch is turned on at time t − 0 and 120 volts are applied instantaneously to the circuit. Write a formula for V(t) in terms of H(t).

(c) Sketch the graph of the voltage V(t) in a circuit if the switch is turned on at time t − 5 seconds and 240 volts are applied instantaneously to the circuit. Write a formula

for V(t) in terms of H(t). (Note that starting at t = 5correspondsto a translation.)
