Laplace Transforms and Circuit Analysis

The document introduces Laplace transforms and how they can be used for circuit analysis. It provides examples of applying Laplace transforms to common signals like step functions and sinusoids. Key properties of Laplace transforms are described. The use of Laplace transforms to solve differential equations modeling RLC circuits is demonstrated. Specific examples are worked through, showing how circuit equations can be transformed into the s-domain and solved using properties of Laplace transforms.

Example 1 - A series RLC circuit excited by a unit impulse


function - that is to say

(The unit impulse always gives the "natural response" of any circuit. Natural as
compared to "forced" response.)

This is to be compared to the transform pair
