\sect{Baruch's D23.} An electrical circuit has in series components with capacitance $C$, inductance $L$, resistance $R$ and a voltage source $V_0\cos \omega t$ with frequency $\omega$. \begin{itemize} \item[(a)] Identify the responsefunction $\alpha_Q(\omega)=\langle Q(\omega)\rangle /(\half V_0)$ . Use this to write the energy dissipation rate. \item[(b)] Use the fluctuation dissipation relation to identify the Fourier transform $\Phi_Q(\omega)$ of the charge correlation function. Evaluate $\langle Q^2(t)\rangle$ and compare with the result from equipartition. \item[(c)] Evaluate the current fluctuations $\langle I^2(t)\rangle$ and compare with the result from equipartition. Under what conditions does one get Nyquist's result $\langle I^2\rangle_{\omega_1 \leftrightarrow \omega_2 } = \frac{{2k_BT}}{{\pi R}}\left( {\omega_2 - \omega_1 } \right)$ ? Hint: $\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \frac{d\omega /2\pi}{(\omega^2-\omega_0^2)^2+\gamma^2\omega^2}=\frac{1}{2\gamma \omega_0^2}\,,\qquad\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \frac{\omega^2 d\omega /2\pi}{(\omega^2-\omega_0^2)^2+\gamma^2\omega^2}=\frac{1}{2\gamma}\,.$\\ \end{itemize} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
