Questions & Answers

Q: What is the purpose of finding the transfer function of an electrical network?

The transfer function allows us to analyze the network's response to different inputs and design filters or control systems for optimal performance.

Q: How is the transfer function of an electrical network determined?

It is found by taking the Laplace transform of the differential equations that describe the network, and then solving the equations to obtain the transfer function.

Q: Why are initial conditions assumed to be 0 in this analysis?

Assuming zero initial conditions simplifies the analysis and allows us to focus on the steady-state response of the network.
