First-Order Circuits
A circuit that contains only sources, resistors
and an inductor is called an RL circuit.
A circuit that contains only sources, resistors
and a capacitor is called an RC circuit.
RL and RC circuits are called first-order circuits
because their voltages and currents are
described by first-order differential equations.

Review (Conceptual)
Any first-order circuit can be reduced to a
Thvenin (or Norton) equivalent connected to
either a single equivalent inductor or capacitor.

Capacitors in circuits
If you have a circuit with capacitors, you
can use KVL and KCL, nodal analysis, etc.
The voltage across the capacitor is related
to the current through it by a differential
equation instead of Ohms law.

The capacitor cannot
change its voltage instantly,
as charges cant jump instantly

RC Circuit Model
Every digital circuit has natural resistance and capacitance. In
real life, the resistance and capacitance can be estimated
using characteristics of the materials used and the layout of the
physical device.

Vout (t ) Vin + Vout (0) Vin et /(RC)
Vout(t) starts at Vout(0) and goes to Vin asymptotically.
The difference between the two values decays exponentially.
The rate of convergence depends on RC. The bigger RC is,
the slower the convergence.

So after 1 time constant, Vout(t) has completed 63% of its transition, with
37% left to go.
After 2 time constants, only 0.372 left to go.

General RC Solution
Every current or voltage (except the source voltage)
in an RC circuit has the following form:

When we found the initial value, we applied the open-circuit assumption to the
circuit before switching, and found the capacitor voltage which would be
preserved through the switch.
