INITIAL AND FINAL CONDITION FOR CIRCUIT
ContentsExplain the transient response of a RC circuit
As the capacitor stores energy when there is: a transition in a unit step function source, u(t-to) or a voltage or current source is switched into the
circuit.Explain the transient response of a RL circuit
As the inductor stores energy when there is: a transition in a unit step function source, u(t-to) or a voltage or current source is switched into the
circuit.Also known as a forced response to an independent source
RC CircuitIC = 0A when t < to
VC = 0V when t < to
Because I1 = 0A (replace it with an open circuit).
RC CircuitFind the final conditionof the voltage across the capacitor.
Replace C with an opencircuit and determine the voltage across the terminal.
IC = 0A when t ~ ∞ s VC = VR = I1R when t ~ ∞ s
RC CircuitIn the time between to and t = ∞ s, the capacitor stores energy and currents flow through R and C.

RL Circuit
RL Circuit (con’t)Initial condition is not important as the
magnitude of the voltage source in the circuit is equal to 0V when t ≤ to. Since the voltage source has only been turned
on at t = to, the circuit at t ≤ to is as shown below. As the inductor has not stored any energy because
no power source has been connected to the circuit as of yet, all voltages and currents are equal to zero.
RL CircuitSo, the final condition of the inductor current
needs to be calculated after the voltage source has switched on.Replace L with a short circuit and calculate
IL(∞).

Electronic ResponseTypically, we say that the currents and
voltages in a circuit have reached steady-state once 5 have passed after a change has been made to the value of a current or voltage source in the circuit.In a circuit with a forced response, percentage-
wise how close is the value of the voltage across a capacitor in an RC circuit to its final value at 5?
Complete ResponseIs equal to the natural response of the circuit
plus the forced responseUse superposition to determine the final
equations for voltage across components and the currents flowing through them.
Example -1Suppose there were two unit step function
sources in the circuit.
Example -1 (con’t)The solution for Vc would be the result of
superposition where:I2 = 0A, I1 is left on
The solution is a forced response since I1 turns on at t = t1
I1 = 0A, I2 is left on The solution is a natural response since I2 turns off
at t = t2

SummaryThe final condition for:
the capacitor voltage (Vo) is determined by replacing the capacitor with an open circuit and then calculating the voltage across the terminals.
The inductor current (Io) is determined by replacing the inductor with a short circuit and then calculating the current flowing through the short.
The time constant for:an RC circuit is RC and an RL circuit is L/R
