To get inverse Laplace, we use partial fractions method and the mentioned formulas.
Transient Analysis
• Transient analysis calculates a circuit's response over a period of time
(defined by the user).
• Transient analysis is the analysis of the circuits during the time it changes
from one steady state condition to another steady state condition.
• Transient analysis will reveal how the currents and voltages are changing
during the transient period

Transient Analysis
➢ The capacitor voltage and inductor current cannot change suddenly to achieve a new steady
state value, transient analysis is very important when we want to study how the circuit
parameters, such as voltages and currents, evolve with time.
➢ L and C components have the ability to store energy in magnetic or electric fields
➢ When the energy is suddenly released, the response is called the natural response (transient
Response), this response is independent of the source . It dies out gradually to zero as time
becomes infinite. (This response will depends on the type of element and size)
➢ When the external source of energy is applied to the circuit, it is called the forced response.
➢ The complete response is the sum of Natural and Forced response.

Objectives : Transient Analysis
➢ To investigate the behavior of currents and voltages when energy is
either released or acquired by inductors and capacitors when there
is an abrupt change in DC current (or) voltage source.
➢ To do an analysis of natural response and forced response of RL and RC
circuit.

Time-domain analysis of first-order RL and RC circuits
➢ Analysis of response of circuit consisting of R, L, C voltage source, current source
& switches to sudden application of voltage or current is called as Time domain
Analysis & Transient Response.
➢ A circuit that contains only sources, resistor and inductor is called an RL circuit.
➢ A circuit that contains only sources, resistor and capacitor is called an RC circuit.
➢ RL and RC circuits are called first–order circuits because their voltages and
currents are describe by first order differential equations.

Time constant τ in seconds is defined as the time required for the current to rise to 63.2% of the final value.
• Time constant indicates the speed of variation of the parameter involved
• High time constant = slow response
• Circuit will reach the steady state around 5τ
