FIRST AND SECOND-ORDER
TRANSIENT CIRCUITS
IN CIRCUITS WITH INDUCTORS
AND CAPACITORS VOLTAGES AND CURRENTS
CANNOT CHANGE
INSTANTANEOUSLY.
EVEN THE APPLICATION, OR
REMOVAL, OF CONSTANT SOURCES CREATES A
TRANSIENT BEHAVIOR
LEARNING GOALS
FIRST ORDER CIRCUITS
Circuits that contain a
single energy storing elements.
Either a capacitor or an
inductor
SECOND ORDER CIRCUITS
Circuits with two energy
storing elements in any combination
