  4. First-Order Circuits • A circuit which contains only sources, resistors and an inductor is called an RL circuit. • A circuit which contains only sources, resistors and a capacitor is called an RC circuit. • RL and RC circuits are called first-order circuits because their voltages and currents are described by first-order differential equations.
