Second order circuits are circuits that have two energy storage elements, resultingin second-order differential equations. The circuits have to be cast in terms of irreducible elements (i.e.

combine L's and C's into one when possible).

An unforced RLC circuit

Consider an un-forced RLC circuit. We want to find Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle V_C} .
