What is the response of the system? x(t), q(t), or in general, ψ(t)? Qualitative questions first: • What is the basic form of the system response after long times? Sinusoidal. ψ(t) = ψmaxcos(ωt+φ) (after times longer than 1/β) • Is the frequency of the system response the same, smaller, or larger than the driving frequency? The same - it must be! • How does the magnitude of the response depend on the driving frequency? It is large close to the natural frequency ω0, and small at lower and at higher frequencies (this is called resonance) • How does the phase of the response depend on the driving frequency? We’ll have to see. It changes, certainly. But it depends on what you mean by “response”. Is it displacement/charge? Velocity/current? 4
V0 real, constant, and known
But now q0 is complex: q0 = q0 eiφq
This solution makes sure q(t) is oscillatory (and at the same frequency as Fext), but may not be in phase with the driving force. Task #1: Substitute this assumed form into the equation of motion, and find the values of |q0| and φq in terms of the known quantities. Note that these constants depend on driving frequency ω (but not on t - that’s why they’re “constants”). How does the shape vary with ω?

Let’s assume this form for q(t)
Assume V0 real, and constant
Task #2: In the lab, you’ll actually measure I (current) or dq/dt. So let’s look at that: Having found q(t), find I(t) and think about how the shape of the amplitude and phase of I change with frequency.
