GENERAL RESPONSE: FIRST ORDER CIRCUITS
Including the initial conditions
the model for the capacitor
voltage or the inductor current
will be shown to be of the form
Solving the differential equation
using integrating factors, one
tries to convert the LHS into an
exact derivative
THIS EXPRESSION ALLOWS THE COMPUTATION
OF THE RESPONSE FOR ANY FORCING FUNCTION.
WE WILL CONCENTRATE IN THE SPECIAL CASE
WHEN THE RIGHT HAND SIDE IS CONSTANT
