What should be done to find the initial values of the circuit variables in a first-order R-C circuit excited by only initial conditions? Correct Answer To replace the operator by a voltage source

If a 1st order RC circuit excited by the initial conditions, then that means the capacitor is initially charged. Therefore, we can replace the capacitor by a voltage source with a voltage equal to the initial value of voltage across the capacitor.

Important Points:

  • If a 1st order RL circuit excited by the initial conditions, then we replace the inductor by a current source equal to the initial value of current flows in the inductor.
  • If there are no initial conditions, the capacitor acts as an open circuit and the inductor acts as a short circuit.
