All RLC circuits can be built from an arrangement of resistors, capacitors, and inductors, which can be used to model electrical behavior in a linear time-invariant (LTI) system.

RLC circuits aren’t just fundamental circuits from electronics classes, they also provide a language to explain the behavior of any linear electrical system with reactive impedance. Resistors, capacitors, and inductors form an RLC circuit. Once you have an RLC model for your system, you can use some basic RLC circuit analysis techniques to simulate electrical behavior. RLC circuit analysis forms the language used to build and understand circuit models for linear time-invariant (LTI) systems with reactive impedance.īuilding a circuit model for a complex electrical system takes some experience and foresight, where real circuit elements and parasitics are combined to form an equivalent RLC network.
