Introduction to Electronic ircuits D ircuit Anlysis: Trnsient esponse of ircuits
Up until this point, we hve een looking t the Stedy Stte response of D circuits. StedyStte implies tht nothing hs chnged in the circuit in long time no power hs een turned on or off, no switches hve een flipped, no lightening olts hve hit the circuit, nd so on. In D Stedy Stte conditions, we cn tret inductors s short circuits nd cpcitors s open circuits. However, when switch hs just een flipped from on to off or off to on, we cn no longer mke these ssumptions out inductors nd cpcitors. The timedependent or D Trnsient response of circuits must then e clculted using known ehviors of inductors ( = L di/dt) nd cpcitors (i = dv/dt) nd the pproprite mthemtics/ clculus. 20 75Ω 50Ω 20mH 1mF c

Those circuits tht contin resistors, cpcitors, nd inductors (L circuits) 20 75Ω 50Ω 20mH 1mF c nd 1. Those circuits responding to power removed from the circuit (Nturl esponse) 2. Those circuits responding to power delivered/pplied to the circuit (Step esponse) The circuit ove is n L circuit nd Nturl esponse

The voltge egins t the initil vlue of the cpcitor voltge nd then decys exponentilly to zero (in the Nturl esponse)

Our discussion of trnsient response hs een divided into severl sections: 2. Those circuits responding to power removed from the circuit (Nturl esponse) 3. Those circuits responding to power delivered/pplied to the circuit (Step esponse) 1 We hve found generl solution to finding the cpcitor voltge in circuits contining resistors nd cpcitors, whether the cpcitor is experiencing nturl or step response. Once the cpcitor voltge is known, it cn e used to find/solve for ny other current or voltge in the circuit. The sme pproch cn e used in L circuits to find the inductor current.
