State Variables and State Equations
As we know, when we apply KCL or KVL in networks that contain energystoring devices, we obtain integrodieren al equations. Also, when a network contains just one such device (capacitor or inductor), it is said to be a rstorder circuit. If it contains two such devices, it is said to be secondorder circuit, and so on. Thus, a first order linear, meinvariant circuit can be described by a differential equation of the form

State Variables and State Equations
A second order circuit can be described by a secondorder differential equation of the same form where the highest order is a second derivative. An nthorder differential equation can be resolved into n rstorder simultaneous differential equations with a set of auxiliary variables called state variables. The resulting rstorder differential equations are called statespace equations, or simply state equations.
