ESC201T L11 RLC Circuits

This document provides an overview of transient analysis of RLC circuits. It discusses two important concepts: that the voltage across a capacitor cannot change instantaneously, which would imply infinite current, and that the current through an inductor cannot change instantaneously, which would imply infinite voltage. It then examines the transient responses of various RLC circuits including series RLC circuits, parallel RLC circuits, and high voltage generation using R-L circuits. It also discusses underdamped, critically damped, and overdamped responses depending on the Q factor of the circuit.
