11.3 ZERO-STATE RESPONSE OF RC CIRCUITS FOR VARIOUS INPUTS

We consider the response of series RC circuit and parallel RC circuit for various input source functions in this section. We know that the total response of any circuit to application of input function is obtained by adding the zero-input response and zero-state response together. Hence, we consider only the zero-state response part for various input source functions in this section. We begin with impulse response (i.e., zero-state impulse response).

11.3.1 Impulse Response of First-Order RC Circuits

The series RC circuit in Fig. 11.3-1(a) has zero initial condition and is excited by a unit impulse voltage source. The capacitor cannot absorb the impulse voltage. Hence, the resistor absorbs ...
