High voltage pulse discharge ring dampening (how to save a pulse capacitor)
So I have a high voltage pulse circuit. I have planned it to be around 90kv with the capacitor being 1.3uF. It is to be discharged through a spark gap. Before I test it, I of course want to save the ...

if settling time is smaller for underdamped case then why we call it underdamped - parallel rlc circuits?
Does less settling time means that the response dies out quickly?
If so the settling time for a just correct Resistance such that the circuit is slightly underdamped is least, then it's most damped(...

Calculating the damping ratio, \$ \zeta \$, and the undamped natural frequency, \$ \omega_0\$
I'm confused on where I went wrong finding \$ \zeta \$ (zeta) and \$ \omega_0\$. I think its where I originally did nodal at Avx. Any help would be appreciated.
-thanks

How to experimentally measure damping in RLC circuits?
I know there are methods to theoretically determine the damping factor and quality factor in RLC circuits. Equations such as
$$\zeta = \frac{R_s}{2} \sqrt{\frac{C}{L}}$$
$$Q = \frac{1}{2\zeta}$$

Trying to understand the magic the author of this PDF did explaining the critically damped equation
I am reading this doc about the equations for the step function for the RLC circuit, critically damped solution.
At page 16 we have these lines...
But there is a magic between these lines...

Damping factor - How to get to these circuits
Do RL and RC circuits have a damping factor? If so, what would be the expression.
Because I know what RLC circuits have, but these others I do not know
Thank you!

over and critically damped systems settling time
I know that for second order systems the settling time(St) equation is:
So my question is, should this same formula be used when the system is over or critically damped? Is it right to use it in that ...

Are overdamped rise waveforms really “curvier”? Or is that just time scale?
Do the rising waveforms for overdamped circuits of different \$\zeta >= 1\$ actually have a different "curviness"? Or does it just look that way because they're all shown on the same time scale?

Phase Margin and Damping Ratio Approximation
I have read in many texts that the closed loop system damping factor can be approximated as:
\$\Phi_m= 100 * \zeta\$
With \$\Phi_m\$ as the phase margin and \$\zeta\$ as the damping ratio.
The ...
