    RLC Circuits

    This document discusses RLC circuits and their behavior over time. It introduces RLC circuits as second-order circuits that require two initial conditions to solve the second-order differential equation that describes them. It then derives the characteristic equation of the differential equation, which takes the form of a quadratic equation. The roots of the characteristic equation dictate the behavior of the circuit and are known as the natural frequencies. These frequencies are further described as the resonant frequency and damping factor. Finally, the behavior of RLC circuits is classified based on the damping factor as overdamped, critically damped, or underdamped.

    RLC circuits

    The Source-Free Series RLC Circuit

    Circuit is initially excited. At t=0


    To eliminate the integral, we differentiate with respect to t and rearrange terms.
    We get

    This is a second-order differential equation and is the reason for calling the RLC
    circuits in this chapter second-order circuits. To solve such a second-order differential
    equation requires that we have two initial conditions, such as the initial value
    of i and its first derivative or initial values of some i and v.
    Substituting i in equation 8.4, we will get

    This quadratic equation is


    known as the characteristic
    equation of the differential
    Eq. (8.4), since the roots of
    the equation dictate the
    character of i. The two
    roots of Eq. (8.8) are
    The roots and are called natural frequencies, measured in nepers per second (Np/s),
    because they are associated with the natural response of the circuit; is known as the
    resonant frequency or strictly as the undamped natural frequency, expressed in
    radians per second (rad/s); and is the neper frequency or the damping factor,
    expressed in nepers per second. In terms of and , Eq. (8.8) can be written as
