We complete this subsection by listing the solution of Eqn. 11.6-14 for the under-
damped case in both formats.
11.7 IMPULSE RESPONSE OF SERIES RLC CIRCUIT
Impulse response of a circuit is the zero-state response with unit impulse input. The relevant
circuit is shown in Fig. 11.7-1(a).
The capacitor cannot absorb the impulse voltage. It cannot absorb even a finite volt-
age change without infinite current flow, let alone impulse voltage. Resistor cannot absorb
impulse voltage, for, in that case the circuit current will become infinite and the inductor is
not going to permit that. Hence, the entire impulse voltage appears across the inductor. This
results ...
