Resistor-Capacitor (RC) Circuits
The study of RC circuits often involves understanding the transient and steady-state response. Transient response refers to what happens when a circuit switches from one state to another, while the steady-state response is the behavior of the circuit after a long time has passed. The time constant (τ) plays a pivotal role in both these analyses.
