Summary of Solving RC or RL Circuits


The steps involved in solving simple circuits containing dc sources,
resistances, and one energy-storage element (inductance or
capacitance) are:
1
...
If the equation contains integrals, differentiate each term in
the equation to produce a pure differential equation
3
...
Substitute the solution into the differential equation to
determine the values of K1 and s
5
...
Write the final solution

characteristic equation are real and distinct
