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).
Consider an un-forced RLC circuit. We want to find .
First, we can use KVL and KCL
