sinusoidal current or voltage at a given frequency is characterized by only two parameters an amplitude and a phase angle. The complex representation of the voltage or current is also characterized by these same two parameters
The effective value of any periodic current is equal to the value of the direct current which flowing through a resistance R, delivers the same power to r as periodic current does
The complete response is written as the sum of the forced and the natural response, and the initial conditions are then determined and applied to the complete response to find the values of the constants
