RLC Circuit Problems | Circuits Lesson 3.6

Hi everyone! Today we are going over RLC circuit problems step-by-step, in different configurations. We will be examining three different problems for each of the three different scenarios we looked at in the last video: overdamped, critically damped, and underdamped situations. In an overdamped circuit, both the exponentials have real coefficients. This means that the circuit does not have enough power to begin oscillating, so the signal just gets depleted. In a critically damped situation, the circuit has just enough power to touch the enveloping function (that is, the decaying exponential). It does not have enough power to oscillate. Finally, in an underdamped situation, the solution consists of real and imaginary parts. This circuit produces a signal that is oscillatory for a period of time until eventually it dies out. I hope you guys enjoy the step-by-step analysis using our various tools we have learned throughout the course. This will be the last official video in unit 3, and we will be moving on to analyzing more circuits with more capacitors and inductors in the next unit, but this time, we will be doing so in the frequency domain, so stay tuned!! #electricalengineering #rlc #transientanalysis
