ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING: PRINCIPLES AND APPLICATIONS, Fourth Edition, by Allan R. Hambley, ©2008 Pearson Education, Inc.
1. Apply Kirchhoff’s current and voltage
laws to write the circuit equation.
2. If the equation contains integrals,
differentiate each term in the equation
to produce a pure differential equation.
