Introduction
In a circuit with energy storage elements, voltages and currents are the solutions to linear, constant coefficient differential equations. Real engineers almost never solve the differential equations directly. It is important to have a qualitative understanding of the solutions.

Important Concepts
The differential equation for the circuit Forced (particular) and natural (complementary) solutions Transient and steady-state responses 1st order circuits: the time constant () 2nd order circuits: natural frequency (0) and the damping ratio ()
ECE201 Lect-24 3
The variable x(t) could be voltage or current. The coefficients an through a0 depend on the component values of circuit elements. The function f(t) depends on the circuit elements and on the sources in the circuit.

Building Intuition
Even though there are an infinite number of differential equations, they all share common characteristics that allow intuition to be developed: Particular and complementary solutions Effects of initial conditions Roots of the characteristic equation
ECE201 Lect-24 6
The particular solution is usually has the form of a sum of f(t) and its derivatives.
If f(t) is constant, then vp(t) is constant

Initial Conditions
The particular and complementary solutions have constants that cannot be determined without knowledge of the initial conditions. The initial conditions are the initial value of the solution and the initial value of one or more of its derivatives. Initial conditions are determined by initial capacitor voltages, initial inductor currents, and initial source values.

The transient response is the circuit response minus the steady-state response.

Step-by-Step Approach
1. Assume solution (only dc sources allowed):
i. ii. x(t) = K1 + K2 e-t/ x(t) = K1 + K2 es t + K3 es t

2. At t=0, draw circuit with C as open circuit and L as short circuit; find IL(0) and/or VC(0) 3. At t=0+, redraw circuit and replace C and/or L with appropriate source of value obtained in step #2, and find x(0)=K1+K2 (+K3) 4. At t=, repeat step #2 to find x()=K1
