A method for analyzing circuits with energy storing elements using first order circuit analysis and ordinary differential equations (odes). It covers the development of mathematical models for linear circuits with one energy storing element, the separation of variables and integration of the equations, and the effect of time constants on the circuit response. The document also includes examples and explanations of the time constant, large vs small time constants, and the solution for f(t).
