    The series RLC circuit is shown in the figure has a sinusoidal voltage applied when the switch
    is closed. The recruiting equation is

    This Equation is second order differential equation and has a solution given by:

    Where:

    To get we solve the circuit in steady state conditions:

    Recall:

    Where:

    To get , we solve the homogeneous differential equation.

    The homogeneous differential equation is obtained by setting the forcing function to zero.

    This equation has a general solution with the form:

    Where are constants determine by initial conditions (capacitor voltage and inductor current)

    are the roots of the characteristic equation:

    Using quadratic equation:

    To simplify:

    First we need to simplify inside the term of the square root:

    Find the common denominator:

    Substitute back to the original expression:

    Now re-write to factor out from both terms in the numerator
