This document discusses the applications of differential equations in RL and RC electrical circuit problems. It provides examples of RL circuits consisting of resistors and inductors and RC circuits consisting of resistors and capacitors. The formation of differential equations for these circuits is described based on Kirchhoff's laws and the voltage-current relationships for each component. An example problem demonstrates solving a first-order differential equation to find the current or voltage in an RL or RC circuit over time.
2. A resistor–inductor circuit (RL circuit), or RL filter or RL network,
is an electric circuit composed of resistors and inductors driven
by a voltage or current source.
A first-order RL circuit is composed of one resistor and one
inductor, either in series driven by a voltage source or in parallel
driven by a current source. It is one of the simplest analogue
infinite impulse response electronic filters.
A LR Series Circuit consists basically of an inductor of
inductance, L connected in series with a resistor of resistance, R.

6. The formation of differential equation for an electric
circuit depends upon the following laws :
i) i = dq/dt
ii) Voltage drop across resistance (R) = RI
iii) Voltage drop across inductance (L) = L di/dt
iv) Voltage drop across capacitance (C) = q/c
Kirchhoff’s law: The algebraic sum of the voltage drop around
any closed circuit is equal to resultant emf in the circuit.
Current law: At a junction current coming is equal to current
going.

Variable voltage across the inductor:
VC = (1/C) ∫i dt

Ri + (1/C) ∫i dt = V
12. The formation of differential equation for an

i) i = C * dV/dt
ii) Voltage drops across resistance (R) = RI
iii) Voltage drops across capacitance (C) = (1/C) ∫i dt
iv) Voltage drops across inductance (L) = L di/dt
Kirchhoff’s law: The algebraic sum of the voltage drops around any closed circuit is
equal to resultant emf in the circuit.
Current law: Sum of incoming current entering at a junction is equal to sum of
current leaving the junction.
13. Example:

charge. Find the voltage across the capacitor at any time t. Distinguish between the
transient and steady-state voltage.
Vemf−VR−VC=0
→ Since, I=C⋅ dVc/dt
→ Vemf−(C⋅dVc/dt)⋅R−Vc=0
→ dVc /(Vemf−Vc) =dt/RC
→ −ln ∣Vemf −VC∣=t/RC+C1
Where C1 is the constant of integration
→ ∣Vemf −VC∣=e^(−t/RC−C1)
Since the initial charge is 0 (no initial charge), C1=0, and we can drop the absolute value.
→ Vemf – Vc = e^(-t/RC)
→ Vc(t)=Vemf−e^(−t/RC)
→ VC(t)=5 – e^(-t/50 ⋅ 1)
→ VC(t)=5 – e^(-t/50)
