Abstract
In the present article, we derived the solution of a fractional differential equation
associated with a RLC electrical circuit with order 1 < a £ 2 and 1 < b £ 1. The Sumudu
transform technique is used to derive the solution. The results are derived here new and
compact forms in terms of the generalized Mittag-Leffler function, which are suitable for
numerical computation.

a powerful and widely used tool for better modeling and control of
processes in many areas of science and engineering. Fractional model for
electrical circuits such as RL, RC, RLC have already been proposed. In this
connection, GÓmez et al. [7] considered Caputo derivatives and Numerical
Laplace transform to get the solution of RL and RC circuits. Further, they
also analysed RLC circuit in time domain and found solution in terms of
Mittag-Leffler function. Shah et. al [13] has obtained analytic solution of RL
electrical circuit described by a fractional differential equation of the order
0 < a £ 1 and used the Laplace transform of the fractional derivative in the
Caputo sense. In a recent paper Chauhan et al. [4] obtained the solution of
a fractional differential equation associated with a RLC electrical circuit by
the application of Laplace transform. In order to stimulate more interest
in subject and to show its utility, this paper is devoted to new and recent
application of fractional calculus i.e. RLC electrical circuit considering
the second order fractional differential equation with parameters
a Œ(1, 2], b Œ(0, 1] and obtained analytic solution in terms of Mittag-Leffler
function using Sumudu transform.
The Mittag-Leffler function Eb(z) [6] defined as:

The Caputo derivative [3] of order a > 0 is defined (see also Kilbas et
al. [10] ) in the form
1 t f

dt dt m
respect to t. (6)
From Caputo [3] and Belgacem et al. [2] it follows that the Sumudu
transform of the Caputo derivative is given by
f k (0)

In view of the results Kilbas et al. [10] and Belgacem et al. [2], we can
easily find that
S−1 uγ −1 (1 − ωu β )−δ =
tγ −1Eβδ ,γ (ωt β ). (8)
Now, we derive the following result, which will use in the solution of
fractional differential equation

RLC Circuit
electrical circuit where these elements are connected in series with voltage
as shown in figure (1). Here, the capacitance (C), inductance (L) and
resistor (R) are considered as positive constants.
Nomenclature
E(T) – The voltage of the power source (measured in Volts = V), I(t)
– The current in the circuit at time t (measured in amperes = I), R – The
resistance of the resistor (measured in ohms = V/A), L – The inductance of
the inductor (measured in henry = H), C – The capacitance of the capacitor
(measured in farads = F = C/V)
d
The voltage drop across inductor, i.e., VL (t) = L I (t).

Now using the Kirchhoff’s voltage law, around any loop in a circuit,
the voltage rises must equal to the voltage drops. We can write,
VL (t) + VR (t) + VC (t) =
E(t), (11)

where 1 < a ≤ 2 and 0 < b ≤ 1 also a – b > 0.
Case II. If we take (i) E(t) = E0 sinwt and (ii) E(t) = E0 coswt, where E0
and w are constants in eq (16), we can obtain two more results in similar
manner as we done in Case I.
Also some special cases of Equation (14) can be obtained especially
when we take b = 1, with condition 1 < a £ 2 and a = 2 with 0 < b £ 1, but
do not consider here due to lack of space.
3. Conclusion
We have obtained the analytic solution of the second order fractional
differential equation associated with a RLC electrical circuit in the time
domain using Caputo derivative in terms of Mittag-Leffler type function
which can be implemented for computational study of behavior of current.
In view of the generality of Mittag-Leffler functions, on specializing the
various parameters, we can obtained from our main result, several result
containing remarkably wide variety of useful functions and their various

special cases. Thus the main result presented in this article would at once
yield a large number of results containing a large variety of simpler special
functions occurring scientific and technological fields.
