Many details on the properties of a circuit can be determined by the step response. It is very important to know how a circuit responds to a sudden input. Fast deviations from the constant state might cause extreme effects on the component or on the system dependent on it. The step response provides information on the stability and ability to reach one constant state from another. In this paper analysis is done on the step response of a first order RC circuit. When time is 200μs the maximum output voltage received is 11.8144 and ratio is 82.3566.
