%example6p14.m
 %displays
 current as function of roots in characteristic equation
 %
 il(t)=(60/(s2-s1))*(exp(-s1*t)-exp(s2*t));
 % with
 restriction s1+s2=20, s1~=s2.
 t=linspace(0,5,500)'; %set
 display interval as a column vector
 ils=[]; %reserve
 space to store curves
 for s1=1:19
    s2=20-s1;
    if s1~=s2
       il=(60/(s2-s1))*(exp(-s1*t)-exp(-s2*t));
       ils=[ils il]; %save new trace as a column in matrix
    end

 %now with
 one command we plot all the columns as functions of time
