Un circuit électrique composé de deux éléments de stockage d’énergie irréductibles est appelé circuit de second ordre.
Parmi les exemples, citons les circuits RLC ainsi que les circuits RC et RL avec des condensateurs doubles et des inductances, respectivement.
Ces circuits sont caractérisés par une équation différentielle du second ordre qui corrèle les signaux d’entrée et de sortie du circuit.
Les signaux d’entrée proviennent généralement de sources de tension ou de courant, tandis que la sortie est généralement la tension aux bornes du condensateur et/ou le courant à travers l’inductance.
Considérons un circuit RLC, où l’énergie initiale stockée dans le condensateur et l’inductance entraîne le circuit.
En appliquant la loi de tension de Kirchhoff au circuit et en prenant la dérivée temporelle, on obtient une équation différentielle du second ordre.
Les coefficients de cette équation, exprimés en termes de résistance, de capacité et d’inductance, sont connus sous le nom de coefficient d’amortissement et de fréquence de résonance.
Le coefficient d’amortissement indique l’amortissement dû à la résistance et détermine le taux de dissipation d’énergie dans le système.
La fréquence de résonance représente la fréquence d’oscillation naturelle du circuit lorsque l’énergie est échangée entre l’inductance et le condensateur.

Second-Order Circuits

L'intégration de deux éléments fondamentaux de stockage d'énergie dans les circuits électriques aboutit à des circuits de second ordre, englobant des circuits RLC et des circuits à doubles condensateurs ou inductances (circuits RC et RL). Les circuits du second ordre sont identifiés par des équations différentielles du second ordre qui relient les signaux d'entrée et de sortie.

Les signaux d'entrée proviennent généralement de sources de tension ou de courant, la sortie représentant souvent la tension aux bornes du condensateur et/ou le courant traversant l'inductance. Par exemple, dans un circuit RLC, l'énergie initiale stockée dans le condensateur et l'inductance initie le circuit. L'application de la loi de tension de Kirchhoff et l'exécution d'une dérivée temporelle donnent une équation différentielle du second ordre.

Il influence directement la vitesse à laquelle l'énergie se dissipe au sein du système, contrôlant ainsi efficacement le taux de perte d'énergie. D’un autre côté, la fréquence de résonance est une caractéristique clé qui représente la fréquence d’oscillation innée du circuit. Il mesure la rapidité avec laquelle l'énergie est échangée entre l'inductance et le condensateur dans le circuit, illustrant la tendance naturelle du circuit à osciller à une fréquence particulière. Le coefficient d'amortissement détermine la rapidité avec laquelle l'énergie est perdue dans le système en raison de la résistance. Dans le même temps, la fréquence de résonance met en évidence la vitesse d'oscillation inhérente au circuit lorsque l'énergie se déplace entre l'inductance et le condensateur. Ces deux facteurs sont cruciaux pour comprendre et analyser le comportement des circuits du second ordre.

rlc damping and resonant frequency

Second-order circuits use two energy storage elements, such as a capacitor and an inductor, to shape how current and voltage change over time. These circuits include RLC circuits, along with RC and RL circuits that have two capacitors or two inductors. Their behavior is described by second-order differential equations that connect the input signal to the output signal.

The input usually comes from a voltage source or a current source. The output is often the voltage across the capacitor, the current through the inductor, or both. In an RLC circuit, energy already stored in the capacitor and inductor starts the circuit response.

To analyze an RLC circuit, Kirchhoff's voltage law is applied and then differentiated with respect to time. This step produces a second-order differential equation. The equation's coefficients depend on resistance, capacitance, and inductance.

Those coefficients show up as the damping coefficient and the resonant frequency. The damping coefficient describes how much the resistor slows the circuit down. It also shows how quickly energy is lost from the system.

The resonant frequency is the circuit's natural oscillation frequency. It shows how fast energy moves back and forth between the inductor and capacitor. Together, the damping coefficient and resonant frequency are key to understanding how second-order circuits behave.

first-order circuits

First-Order Circuits in Flashing Lamps

First-order circuits use a resistor and one energy storage element, either a capacitor or an inductor. They are common in electronic systems and are described by a first-order differential equation that links the input and output signals. One important example is the RC circuit, which uses a resistor and a capacitor. In a relaxation oscillator such as a neon lamp circuit, the capacitor starts charging when voltage is applied. At first, the lamp behaves like an open circuit. When the capacitor...

rc circuit without source

RC Capacitor Discharge After Power Loss

An RC circuit discharges after the DC source is removed. If the capacitor was fully charged first, its initial voltage, V0, provides the energy that drives the source-free circuit. Kirchhoff’s current law is applied at the top node of the circuit. The current terms for the resistor and capacitor are then substituted, which leads to a first-order differential equation. Rearranging, integrating, and taking the exponential gives the natural response of the circuit. The integration constant in...

rc circuit with source

RC Circuit Charging After a DC Step

An RC circuit with a DC source shows how a capacitor charges after a sudden voltage step. The applied source is treated as a unit step function, and the capacitor voltage is the step response of the circuit. This response describes how the circuit reacts right after the input changes. A capacitor cannot change its voltage instantly. So, immediately after the switch closes at t=0, the capacitor voltage stays at its initial value. Kirchhoff’s current law is then applied at that moment and...

RL Circuit Decay After Source Removal

An RL circuit begins to decay after the DC source is removed. At that moment, the circuit becomes source-free. If the inductor has an initial current, I0, it also stores initial energy. That stored energy drives the natural response of the circuit. Kirchhoff’s voltage law is applied around the loop. The inductor voltage and resistor voltage are substituted into the equation. This gives a first-order differential equation for the current. Rearranging the terms produces a logarithmic form, which...

rl circuit with source

RL Step Response Under a DC Source

An RL circuit connected to a DC source has a step response that changes over time. The response has two parts: the transient response and the steady-state response. The transient response is the short-lived reaction that happens right after the source is applied. During the transient phase, the current changes exponentially. If the circuit starts with current in the inductor, that current decays toward zero as time goes on. At this stage, the inductor acts like a short circuit, so the source...

design example: frog muscle response

RL Circuit and Frog Leg Current Response

An RL circuit is used to model the frog leg’s response to electrical stimulation. In this setup, the student studies how current changes in a resistor-inductor circuit can trigger muscle contraction. The circuit provides a way to control and measure the electrical impulses involved in the experiment. When the switch is closed, the frog’s leg shows a brief contraction. At steady state, the inductor acts like a short circuit. That lets current bypass the resistor and produces a mild, short...

Natural Response of a Source-Free RLC Circuit

A source-free RLC circuit is a series circuit with a resistor, inductor, and capacitor, but no external energy source. It begins with the energy already stored in the capacitor and inductor. That stored energy drives the circuit at first. The circuit is described by a second-order differential equation. This equation shows how the resistor, inductor, and capacitor interact over time. The resistor removes energy from the circuit, so the solution has an exponential form. When the exponential...

Damping in Series RLC Circuit Responses

A source-free series RLC circuit shows three response patterns based on damping. The circuit is described by a second-order differential equation. Its complete solution is made from two distinct solutions. Those solutions depend on the roots, which are written in terms of the damping factor and the resonant frequency. When the damping factor is greater than the resonant frequency, both roots are real and negative. This gives an overdamped response. The circuit output decays slowly over time. <br...

Forced Response in a Series RLC Circuit

A series RLC circuit with a DC source can model an automobile ignition system. The circuit shows how a battery can produce the high voltage needed for a spark. In this case, the input DC voltage acts like a forcing step function. Applying Kirchhoff's voltage law leads to a second-order differential equation. A second-order differential equation is an equation with a term for the second derivative. The form of this equation is very similar to the one used for a source-free RLC circuit, so the...

Parallel RLC Step Response in Surge Protectors

Parallel RLC circuits help explain how a surge protector works in a street lamp. The circuit model uses a DC input source that creates a step response when the switch is turned on. This setup shows how the lamp’s components can be protected from sudden voltage spikes. When the switch closes, Kirchhoff’s current law is applied to the parallel RLC circuit. That leads to a second-order differential equation. The solution has two parts: a transient response and a steady-state response. The...

second-order op amp circuits

Second-Order Op Amp Low-Pass Filters

Second-order op-amp low-pass filters remove unwanted high-frequency noise from audio signals. They are used in audio systems to refine sound quality. These filters are often built as voltage followers and have two nodes with storage elements. The circuit analysis follows the same basic method used for second-order RLC circuits. In practice, bulky inductors are usually avoided because of their size and weight. For that reason, the focus here is on RC second-order op-amp circuits, which are...

Oscillator Design with a Parallel RLC Circuit

A parallel RLC circuit can be designed to work as an oscillator with underdamped behavior. This example targets a damped natural frequency of 4 kHz and a damping factor of 4 radians per second. A fixed resistance of 200 Ω is used as the starting point for the design. The first step is to find the capacitance. The damping factor is the reciprocal of twice the product of resistance and capacitance. Using that relationship, the needed capacitance value can be calculated from the given resistance...
