Answer

a) $I(t)$ = $\frac{1}{100}(e^{-t}-e^{-11t})$ b) $\approx$ $0.00715$ amperes c) as below

Work Step by Step

a) $\frac{dI}{dt}+11I$ = $\frac{1}{10}e^{-t}$ $A(t)$ = $11$ $B(t)$ = $\frac{1}{10}e^{-t}$ $α(x)$ = $e^{11t}$ $(e^{11t}I)'$ = $\frac{1}{10}e^{10t}$ $e^{11t}I$ = $\frac{1}{100}e^{10t}+C$ $I(t)$ = $\frac{1}{100}e^{-t}+Ce^{-11t}$ $I(0)$ = $0$ $0$ = $\frac{1}{100}+C$ $C$ = $-\frac{1}{100}$ $I(t)$ = $\frac{1}{100}(e^{-t}-e^{-11t})$ b) $I(t)$ = $\frac{1}{100}(e^{-t}-e^{-11t})$ = $0$ $t$ = $t_{m}$ = $\frac{1}{10}\ln{11}$ seconds $I(t_{m})$ = $\frac{1}{100}(e^{-\frac{1}{10}\ln{11}}-e^{-\frac{11}{10}\ln{11}})$ $\approx$ $0.00715$ amperes
