tf004-1.jpg is considered critically damped.
 

 5. 

tf005-1.jpg is considered underdamped.
 

Completion
Complete each statement.
 

 6. 

The first step in finding the natural response of a circuit is to derive the __________ equation that the voltage must satify.
 

 

 7. 

Circuits in this chapter contain both inductors and capacitors, so the differential equation describing these circuits is of the second order.  Therefore, we sometimes call such circuits _________-order circuits.
 

 

 8. 

co008-1.jpg is called the characteristic equation of the differential equation because the roots of this quadratic equation determine the mathematical ________ of v(t).
 

 

 9. 

The first step in finding the natural response is to determine the ______ of the characteristic equation.
 

 

 10. 

Behavior of a second-order RLC circuit depends on the values of co010-1.jpg and co010-2.jpg, which in turn depend on the parameters R, L, and _______.
 

 

 11. 

Completing the description of the __________ response requires finding two unknown coefficients, such as co011-1.jpg and co011-2.jpg.
 

 

 12. 

The term co012-1.jpg is called the damped _________ frequency.
 

 

 13. 

Because co013-1.jpg determines how quickly the oscillations subside, it is also referred to as the damping _______ or damping coefficient.
 

 

 14. 

The oscillartory behavior is possible because of the two types of energy storage elements in the circuit: the _________ and capacitor.
 

 

 15. 

In an underdamped system, the response oscillates, or “bounces,” abouts its ________ value.  This oscillation is also referred to as ringing.
 

 

 16. 

In an overdamped system, the response approaches its final value without ringing or in what is sometimes described as a “________” manner.
 

 

 17. 

When a circuit is critically damped, the response is on the verge of __________.
