So say I have a simple circuit like this and I need to find the differential equation for it. It's a second order since it's an RLC like I stated in the title. Therefore, what would be the steps I would go through to obtain the equation? I'm guessing I start by finding out the initial conditions (need 2 instances, one where the switch is open, and the other with it closed), and then do I just do a KCL on it and then take the derivative?
My teacher has been lacking in the finer details of the process, and I found through wikibooks the equation for the Zero-Input Response equation (only really helps in one case obviously), which helps me a little, but a explanation of some sorts would be helpful.
As always, thanks for any help you can give me
