1. THE CIRCUIT HAS ONLY CONSTANT INDEPENDENT SOURCES
THE DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION APPROACH
CIRCUITS WITH ONE ENERGY STORING ELEMENT
CONDITIONS
2. THE DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION FOR THE VARIABLE OF INTEREST
IS SIMPLE TO OBTAIN. NORMALLY USING BASIC ANALYSIS TOOLS;
e.g., KCL, KVL. . . OR THEVENIN
3. THE INITIAL CONDITION FOR THE DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION
IS KNOWN, OR CAN BE OBTAINED USING STEADY STATE ANALYSIS
SOLUTION STRATEGY
: USE THE DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION AND THE
INITIAL CONDITIONS TO FIND THE PARAMETERS
