How to Derive the ODE for a Series RC Circuit with a Current Source?

Click For Summary
To derive the ODE for a series RC circuit with a current source, the focus is on obtaining a single equation that relates the output voltage U to the input current. The discussion acknowledges that multiple equations may arise from analyzing different parts of the circuit, but the goal is to simplify this to one key equation. The user emphasizes that numerical values are not critical; instead, the aim is to formulate a general ODE that captures the system's response to varying input currents. Assistance is sought in constructing this ODE to facilitate further analysis. The conversation highlights the challenge of translating circuit dynamics into a usable mathematical form.

Dear all,

I have problem to find the differential equation for my circuit shown in the attached picture.

For input I have a current source, and the output is the voltage U (the voltage between the first and the ground node). I need the ODE to find the mathematical response of the system.

Thank you very much for all answers.


Cheers,
Nikola

Part of your picture has been cut off so we cannot see some of the data. Thus will actually be a sytem of equations, or a matrix equation, not a single equation, with a different equation (or line of the matrix) for each "side" of the circuit. I believe I count 6 such equations.
 
Hi Hallsoflvy,

thank you very much for your reply.

Yes, I know that the picture is cut off, just because the data is not important. Actually, I am not interested in any numerical values, the component values on the picture is only for some simulation to check the correctness of the formula that I will get, but unfortunately so far I didn't get the formula that I need.

Also, I know that there will be more equations to solve the circuit. But at the end, I am interested i only one equation that will give me the answer of the system (the output voltage), according the input of the system (applied current). If I describe the system with this kind of ODE, I can get the system's response for any different input current. That is what I need, but I have some problems to construct this ODE :) Hope someone can help me :)

Thanks a lot,
Nikola
