Then, students will solve them by using a directmethod in the real domain and by applying the transform methods either in the frequency domain(Phasor Transform) or in the complex s-domain (Laplace Transform). Since the application oftransform techniques is much quicker and more efficient, especially when a real system carriesthe initial condition(s) or boundary conditions, we will focus on the Phasor Transform todetermine the steady-state response for an AC circuit and the Laplace Transform to derive thecomplete system solution, which includes transient and steady-state responses for both electricaland mechanical models.
