DC CIRCUITS - Second Order Circuits - Brief Explanation

This document discusses second order circuits containing resistors, inductors, and capacitors (RLC circuits) in both series and parallel configurations. It provides the general differential equation that describes RLC circuits and defines the parameters for that equation for both series and parallel circuits. It also presents the general solution to the differential equation and discusses approaches for finding the initial and final values in RLC circuits. The document concludes with an example of calculating the step response of a particular RLC circuit.

Finding Initial and Final Values

The capacitor voltage is always continuous

The inductor current is always continuous


Equivalent circuit

𝑡 = 0− 𝑡 = 0+

𝑡→∞
𝑡 = 0−

As the inductor current and the capacitor voltage cannot change


abruptly
𝑡 = 0+
The same current flows through
both the inductor and capacitor
𝑡→∞
Step Response of RLC Circuits

The complete response of the circuit is the sum of the natural response
and the forced response.
