Steady State and Transient
Analysis
Steady State
Whenever a network containing energy
storage elements such as inductor or
capacitor the currents and voltages do not
change with time is called steady state.
Transient
In a network containing energy storage
element with change excitation the current
and voltages change from one state to other
state called Transient
