8.1 Examples of Second Order RLC circuits (1)
What is a 2nd order circuit?
A second-order circuit is characterized by a second-order differential equation. It consists of resistorsand the equivalent of two energy storage elements.

8.2 Finding Initial and Final Values
Finding Initial
and Final Values of
v(0), i(0), dv(0)/dt, di(0)/dt, v(∞), i(∞)
6
8.2 Finding Initial and Final Values
Key Points for Finding Initial and Final Values:
1. Polarity of v(t) and i(t) using passive sign convention (see Figs. 6.3 & 6.23)
2. Capacitor voltage is always continuous so v(0+) = v(0-) for switch at t = 0
3. Inductor current is always continuous so i(0+) = i(0-) for switch at t = 0
7
8.2 Finding Initial and Final Values
Example 8.1: The switch in Fig. 8.2 has been closed for a long time. It is opened at t = 0. Find: (a) v(0+), i(0+), (b) dv(0+)/dt, di(0+)/dt, (c) v(∞), i(∞)

8.2 Finding Initial and Final Values
Example 8.2: In the circuit of Fig. 8.5, calculate: (a) iL(0
+), vC(0+), vR(0
+), (b) diL(0
+)/dt, dvC(0+)/dt, dvR(0
+)/dt, (c) iL(∞), vC(∞), vR(∞)

8.3 Source-Free Series RLC Circuits (1)
• The solution of the source-free series RLC circuit is called as the natural response of the circuit.
• The circuit is excited by the energy initially stored in the capacitor and inductor.
