This chapter aims at generalising the principles brought out in earlier chapters for a
linear time-invariant circuit of n
th
order. The circuit may contain linear dependent sources
along with passive elements (i.e., R, L, C and M).
We start with the mesh and nodal analysis of linear dynamic circuits containing two
or more energy storage elements (and dependent sources as well) in the first part of this
chapter. We bring out many generally applicable concepts in linear systems through a set of
specific circuit examples.
Subsequently, in the second part of this chapter, we generalise the concepts evolved
through these examples. We introduce the complex ...
