For example, the voltage across the capacitor and the current through the inductor can be described by second-order differential equations, which arise from the relationships between voltage, current, and the derivative of charge or magnetic flux.
Generally, as with the series circuits presented in the previous chapter, reactance values will need to be computed from capacitor and inductor values before the main analysis may begin.

Here, as in the most of the remaining chapters, we shall be concerned with determining the circuit response based on a source with a single frequency of excitation, in other words, a simple sine wave.
