    - Considering above diagrams of a mechanical system and electrical system, characteristic equation for each system can be derived.

    - The characteristic equation for mechanical system is given by,

    M(d2x/dt2) + B(dx/dt) + Kx = F …..........................(1)

    Where,

    M(d2x/dt2) = Inertia force

    B(dx/dt) = Damping force

    Kx = Spring force

    - Whereas, the characteristic equation for electrical system is given by,

    L(d2i/dt2) + R(di/dt) + (1/C)i = Eo cos ωt ….........................(2)

    Where,

    L(d2i/dt2) = Voltage across inductance

    R(di/dt) = Voltage across resistance

    (1/C)i = Voltage across capacitance

    From above equations (1) and (2), we can say that the displacement (x) of a mass attached to a spring in mechanical system is corresponding to current (i) in the electrical system.
