RC Circuit Impulse Response

Description

RC circuit impulse response describes how the capacitor voltage changes after a brief input signal. In this system, the voltage source is the input, and the capacitor voltage is the output. The state of the circuit before and after excitation is defined separately so the response can be tracked clearly.

Transcript

The impulse response is the system's reaction to an input impulse.

In an RC circuit, the voltage source is the input, and the capacitor's voltage is the output.

The system's state and output response before and after the input excitation are distinctly defined.

Kirchhoff's law forms an input signal equation, with th...
