Second Order Differential equations Circuits containing two storage elements are
known as second-order circuits because theirresponses are described by differential equationsthat contain second derivatives.
A second-order circuit may have two storageelements of different type or the same type.
A second-order circuit is characterized by a second-order differential equation. It consists of resistorsand the equivalent of two energy storage elements.

Assume initial inductor current Io and initialcapacitor voltage Vo
Our experience with first-order equations might suggest that we at least try the exponential form once more. Thus, we assume

The roots of the characteristicequation are real and negative.
The roots are real and equal.
In this case the roots are complexand may be expressed as
ωd is called the damped natural frequency

Notice that by increasing thevalue of R, the degree ofdamping decreases and theresponses differ.
