Natural Response , Forced Response

Complete Responce
With independent sources in RL & RC circuits
Forced Response
Part of the response depends on the input
source and is called forced response or steady
state response.
Natural Response
Part of the response depends on the circuit
elements, their size and type, and is called
natural response or transient response.
Complete Response of the circuit will be
described as sum of two

Problem Solving strategy : RC Circuits

Steps :
Step-1: Assume circuit has reached steady state
before change of switch i.e. at t = 0- . Find voltage
Vc(0-). As voltage across capacitor cannot change
abruptly so Vc(0-) = Vc(0+)
Step-2: To find time constant () Make all sources
ZERO. Find Req of rest of the circuit connected in
series with Capacitor C.
Step-3: Assume circuit has reached steady state after
change of switch to find forced response i.e. K1
Step-4: Use initial conditions ( Vc(0+) ) to find K2
Step-5: Complete response of circuit will be
v(t) = K1 + K2 e - (t / )
