Read the RLC-transient class notes.
For the circuit shown,
- R = 120 Ω
- L = 470 mH
- C = 150 μF

In the RLC circuit, the source has been at an initial voltage value of Vi = -10 V for a long time.
At t = 0, the source voltage abruptly jumps to Vf = 17 V.
Will the response of system be over-damped or under-damped?
If it is over-damped, what are the time constants corresponding to the two exponential decays?
Or if it is under-damped, what are the time constant of the decay and the damped oscillation frequency of the ringing response?
