Electrical circuits homework
I am pretty new to circuits analysis and I have the following problem as homework:
ig2(t) = 4sin(ωt + π/4),
e3(t) = 12sin(ωt + π/4),
R1 = 10 Ω,
ωL1 = 4 Ω,
ωL3 = 3 Ω,
1/(ωC2) = 6 Ω
I have to calculate ...

Output voltage not stable - What is compensation with respect to DC-DC (buck converter)?
EDITS:
Input voltage range: 24V to 48V.
Changing the load current from 0.38A to 1.018A increases the mean output voltage from 12.779V to 13.26V. The supply should be producing 12.5V.
I'm using this ...

Problem with ESP32 and Wifi when powered by LiPo battery
I built a circuit around a ESP32 powered by a LiPo battery (I tested with 1800mAh and 4400mAh batteries), a MCP73871 to charge it and a TPRT9080 to regulate voltage.
When I use the ESP32 without Wifi, ...

PSpice VSIN frequency - how to set it in rad/s?
I know, that if I want to set FREQ, I need to set it in Hz, not in rad/s. I know, that
1 Hz = 2*pi rad/s,
but how to do this in PSpice? What should I enter exactly?
and btw. if I want to set VOFF (...
