In this case, the circuit voltage and current are independent of time A particular circuit voltage or current docs not depend on the past value of any circuit voltage or current. This implies that the system of equations that represent a DC aircutt do not involve integrals or derivative s with respect to time. DC circurt operate by Ohm's Law which states that the current through a conductor between two points 1s directly proportional to the potential difference across the two points. Introducing the constant of propottionality, the resistance and one arives at the usual mathematical equation that describes this relationship.
