First Order RC and RL Transient
Circuits
Objectives
• To introduce the transients’ phenomena.
• To analyze step and natural responses of first order RC circuits.
• To analyze step and natural responses of first order RL circuits.
Transients
• In circuits with inductors and capacitors voltage and current cannot
change instantaneously.
• The application or removal of sources or circuit elements creates a
transient behavior.
• Transient is the process of going from one steady state to another
steady state following a sudden change in the circuit configuration.
• Sudden changes are mainly due to switching process or faults.
FIRST ORDER CIRCUITS
• Circuits that contain a single energy storing elements.
• Either a capacitor or an inductor.
SECOND ORDER CIRCUITS
• Circuits with two independent energy storing elements in any
combination
Transient Analysis
• The circuit is modeled in time domain using differential equations.
• The order of the differential equation equals the number of
independent energy storing elements in the circuits.
• Currents and Voltages of circuits with just one C or One L can be
obtained using first order differential equations.

Initial Conditions
Initial conditions are the values of the capacitors voltage or the inductor
current at starting instant of the transient period.
• t = 0- is the instant just before switching.
• t = 0+ is the instant just after switching.
• In Capacitors VC(0-) = VC(0+). Where VC is the capacitor voltage.
• In inductors iL(0-) = iL(0+). Where iL is the Inductor current.

o The following is the first order differential equation describing the
Change in the capacitor voltage during the transient period.

Where,
- VCF is the final value of VC
- is the circuit time constant
First Order RC circuit
Final Value of VC
• The final value of VC occurs when the capacitor is fully charge i.e.
the rate of change of Vc = 0
• Using the differential equation,
• Then, VCF = VTH
• VCF is usually refers to as VC(∞)
• VCF can be obtained by replacing the capacitor with an open circuit
since iCF = 0

Time constant
The time constant is a measure of how fast is the charging process of
the Capacitor.
Mathematically it’s the time required to reach 63% of the final value.

Equivalent Resistance seen by an Inductor
• For the RL circuit in the previous example,
it was determined that = L/R.
• As with the RC circuit, the value of R should actually be the equivalent
(or Thevenin) resistance seen by the inductor.
• In general, a first-order RL circuit has the following time constant:

Natural Response of R-L Circuit
• When the switch is closed (ON) – the inductor will store the
energy. As a result, the inductor is said to be charged.
• When the switch is opened (OFF), this will result in the
instantaneous change in the circuit. The inductor will supply
the energy stored to the resistor.

equation of the loop:

Example
• Assuming that i(0) = 10 A, calculate i(t) and ix (t) in the circuit.
The equivalent resistance is the same as
the Thevenin resistance at the inductor
terminals.
Because of the dependent source, we
insert a voltage source with vo = 1 V
• Since there is no energy source in the circuit, the final value of the inductor current is
zero i.e. ILF = 0
• The time constant = L/R = 1.5 sec.
