EE 212 Lab
Prelab 12: Step Responses of RC and RLC Circuits

1. Determine and plot the step response (vout(t) for vin(t) = u(t)) of the circuit shown in figure 1of the lab. Start your table of metrics with values obtained from your calculated step response.

2.  In  part 2 of the lab, the series RLC circuit shown in figure 3 is desired to have a damped sinusoidal step response. Choose R, L, and C so that the specifications of the lab are met. Determine and plot the step response (vout(t) for vin(t) = u(t)). Start your table of metrics with values obtained from your calculated step response.

Note: Laplace Transforms might be a useful way to find step responses analytically and Matlab might be a useful tool for plotting the step responses.
