-Since a capacitor cannot change its voltage instantaneously, the capacitor voltage just after the switch moves to position B is $v(0^+) = v(0^=)=9V$, which gives us our initial condition on the capacitor voltage. +Since a capacitor cannot change its voltage instantaneously, the capacitor voltage just after the switch moves to position B is $v(0^+) = v(0^-)=9V$, which gives us our initial condition on the capacitor voltage. 
  
 The system time constant can be determined from the capacitance and the equivalent resistance seen by the capacitor. The equivalent resistance can be determined by looking into the capacitor terminals with the switch at position B (recall that we are solving the differential equation for $t>0$). The appropriate circuit is shown below. The equivalent resistance consists of a parallel combination of the $12\Omega$ and $6\Omega$ resistors (note that the $4\Omega$ resistor and the voltage source are no longer relevant to the problem – they are isolated from the capacitor after the switch changes to position B).

 ==== Section Summary ==== ==== Section Summary ====
 +  * The step response of a first order circuit describes the response of a first order circuit to an applied step function. Typically, the term “step response” implies that all initial conditions in the circuit are zero, but this is not a requirement for application of any of the concepts presented in this section
 +  * The differential equation describing the forced response of a first order circuit is of the form:
 +
 +$$\frac{dy(t)}{dt}+\frac{1}{\tau}y(t)=Au_0(t)$$
 +
 +Where $u_0(t)$ is the unit step function defined in section 6.2. The time constant, $\tau$, of the circuit is readily obtained from the differential equation when it is written in the above form.
 +
 +  * The form of the step response of a first order system is:
 +
 +$$y(t)=K_1e^\frac{-1}{\tau}+K_2$$
 +
 +  * The time constant in the solution above can be determined from either the governing differential equation or directly from the circuit itself.
 +  * The unknown constants in the response are determined from initial, $y(0^+)$, and final, $y(t\rightarrow \infty)$, conditions. The initial conditions must be determined from the circuit itself. The final conditions can be determined from either the circuit itself or from the governing differential equation.  
 +  * Although both the time constant and the final value of the response can be determined from either the governing differential equation or the circuit itself, it is strongly recommended that both approaches be used and the results compared with one another to provide a cross-check of your analysis.
 +  * The DC gain of a circuit provides the ratio of the output amplitude to the input amplitude, as $t \rightarrow \infty$, if the input is a constant value. The DC gain and the time constant are often used to characterize the response of a first order circuit.
