Our guiding principles are Kirchhoff’s laws.
• We sum voltages around loops or sum currents at nodes and then equate the result to zero.
• From these relationships we can write the differential equations for the circuit.
• Then we can take the Laplace transforms of the differential equations and finally solve for the
transfer function.

Now for the given electrical circuit , we can see there are two resistors of 1 Ω ,one inductor of 1H and a
Capacitor of 1F .
21. To solve the circuit we first reduce the two resistor in the circuit by equivalent single resistor using the Thevenin
Principle .
The steps to draw an equivalent Thevenin circuit are as follows –
Step 1 − Consider the circuit diagram by opening the terminals with respect to which the Thevenin’s equivalent
circuit is to be found.
Step 2 − Find Thevenin’s voltage VTh across the open terminals of the above circuit.
VTH =
𝑉𝑠
𝑅1+𝑅2
𝑥𝑅2
Considering our circuit , we get
V TH =

× 1
V TH =

RTH =

Step 4 − Draw the Thevenin’s equivalent circuit by connecting a Thevenin’s voltage VTh in series with a Thevenin’s
resistance RTh.
The equivalent circuit considering Thevenin resistance and voltage is :

Using the Voltage division method we can get the transfer function of the circuit :
The voltage across the capacitor is some proportion of the input voltage, namely the impedance of the capacitor divided by
the sum of the impedances. Thus,

analysis method
Solution- • For this problem, we sum currents at the nodes rather than sum voltages around the
meshes. From Figure, the sum of currents flowing from the node A are, respectively,

• As the 2 branches AB and CD are in parallel connection, the voltage drop across both will be same, therefore,
V1(s) = V2(s)
• Current flowing in branch CD will be constant, so,
