Learn about the RLC Cicuit through interactive tutorials
HINT: TRY PUSHING F11 KEY TO GET BIGGER SCREEN IF THE FLASH PROGRAM IS TOO BIG FOR SCREEN! (You may need to click curser on the top of your browser [outside of green area of flash program] prior to hitting F11 key)
This Series RLC circuit consists of three tutorials which will give you insight into a wide variety of concepts associated with Electrical Circuit analysis.
These tutorials will demonstrate:
Differential Equations, Laplace Techniques, Initial Conditions, Steady State Response, Transfer Function, Impulse Response and Convolution
Tutorial 1: Learn the basics of the transient response of a series RLC circuit. The transient response is derived from differential equations and it describes how energy that is contained in a circuit will dissapate out when no input signal is applied. All the math for deriving the transient response is contained in this tutorial.

Tutorial 2: Learn how the series RLC circuit behaves when the input signal is a continuous sinusoidal signal. Learn how to derive and interpret the transfer function of the steady state response.

Tutorial 3: Learn how to derive the impulse response function for the Series RLC cicuit. Use the interactive program to gemerate various impulse responses on the RLC circuit. Then learn how to use the impulse response plus convolution in order to get an output from the RLC circuit for any input that you apply to the input.
