Step Response DC Sources are present after switches change Transient parts have same form as in natural response Use Steady-state response and initial conditions to determine constants In steady-state with DC sources: inductors are as short circuits capacitors are as open circuits
Series RLC Step Response (1/5) Switch has been closed for a long time. Initial Conditions: Steady-state Conditions:
Series RLC Step Response (2/5) Since series RLC, start with capacitor voltage:
Series RLC Step Response (3/5) Now find current in capacitor as: Use initial conditions: then
Series RLC Step Response (4/5)
Series RLC Step Response (5/5)
Parallel RLC Step Response (1/6) Switch has been open for a long time. Initial Conditions: Steady-state Conditions:
Parallel RLC Step Response (2/6) From experience, we know this is a damped sinusoid. Therefore, start with that form.
Parallel RLC Step Response (3/6) Evaluate at initial conditions.
Parallel RLC Step Response (4/6) Evaluate at initial conditions.
Parallel RLC Step Response (5/6)
Parallel RLC Step Response (6/6)
