ECTE202_Week 4 Winter 2025 Workshop

The document covers the analysis of second order circuits, specifically focusing on RLC series and parallel circuits. It includes methods for determining the complete response of these circuits and provides multiple examples illustrating the step response under various conditions. Key concepts discussed include the unit step function and the behavior of circuits when subjected to sudden changes in voltage or switch positions.

ECE202: CIRCUITS AND SYSTEMS

WEEK 5
SECOND ORDER CIRCUITS (CHAPTER 8)
RECAP

• We understood the concept of unit step function.


• For first order circuits,
 Studied method of analysis for source-free RC/RL circuits.
 Studied method for analysis for the step response/ complete
response of the first order systems.
• Later we moved to analysis of second order systems,
 Studied method of analysis for Source-free RLC series circuit or RLC
parallel circuits.

In this lecture, we will develop the method for determining the


complete response of second order circuits.

RLC Series Circuit – Example 4

The switch in the circuit shown below has been closed for a long time before it is opened
