2nd Order Circuits
• Any circuit with a single capacitor, a single
inductor, an arbitrary number of sources,
and an arbitrary number of resistors is a
circuit of order 2.
• Any voltage or current in such a circuit is
the solution to a 2nd order differential
equation.

The Differential Equation
Most circuits with one capacitor and inductor
are not as easy to analyze as the previous
circuit. However, every voltage and current in
such a circuit is the solution to a differential
equation of the following form:

• Forced and homogeneous solutions
• The natural frequency and the damping
ratio

The Particular Solution
• The particular (or forced) solution ip(t) is
usually a weighted sum of f(t) and its first
and second derivatives.
• If f(t) is constant, then ip(t) is constant.
• If f(t) is sinusoidal, then ip(t) is sinusoidal.

The Complementary Solution
The complementary (homogeneous) solution
has the following form:
ic (t ) Ke
st
K is a constant determined by initial conditions.
s is a constant determined by the coefficients of
the differential equation.

Characteristic Equation
• To find the complementary solution, we
need to solve the characteristic equation:

• The characteristic equation has two rootscall them s1 and s2.
lecture 18
13
Complementary Solution
• Each root (s1 and s2) contributes a term to
the complementary solution.
• The complementary solution is (usually)
ic (t ) K1e K 2 e

Important Concepts
• The differential equation
• Forced and homogeneous solutions
• The natural frequency and the damping
ratio

Damping Ratio () and
Natural Frequency (0)
• The damping ratio is .
• The damping ratio determines what type of
solution we will get:
– Exponentially decreasing ( >1)
– Exponentially decreasing sinusoid ( < 1)
• The natural frequency is 0
– It determines how fast sinusoids wiggle.

Roots of the Characteristic
Equation
The roots of the characteristic equation
determine whether the complementary
solution wiggles.
