AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on comparing the differential method and the step-by-step approach for solving transient circuits. Participants highlight that the differential method is often more efficient for complex circuits, while the step-by-step approach can be easier for simpler problems or when teaching concepts. Examples of each method are requested to illustrate their application. Overall, the choice between methods may depend on the specific circuit and the solver's familiarity with each technique. Understanding both methods can enhance problem-solving skills in transient circuit analysis.

Hi!

I'm learning about solving transient circuits using the differential method and step-by-step approach and I'm just wondering if there's any advantages or disadvantages to both.

Are there any problems which will be easier solved using the step-by-step approach vs differential?

Thanks!

Can you show examples of each approach?
 

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Two capacitors, etc.'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
