0Study of DC transients in R-L and R-C circuits. This lesson is concerned to explore the solution of the first-order circuit that contains resistances, only single energy storage element inductance or capacitance, DC voltage and current sources, and switches. A fundamental property of inductor currents and capacitor voltages is discussed. In this lesson, the transient and steady-state behaviour in a circuit is studied when a switch is turned on or off. The initial condition, the steady solution and the time constant of the first order system are also discussed that uniquely determine the system behaviour. The solution of differential equation restricted to second order dynamic systems for different types of forcing function are included in Appendix of this, lesson. Some problems are solved, and their dynamic responses are plotted.
