A transfer function of electrical system

An electirc circuit is examined from the control theory point of view. The examined electric circuit is built from two ideal resistor and one ideal capacitor which according to the electircal engineering theory are passive elements. The input signal of the considered circuit is represented as the input voltage. The output signal is represented as the output voltage. The branch current method will be employed in order to write equations for the electical circuit in the domain of time. Next Laplace transformation will be used on received equations.

The Kirchhoff's volatge law is employed to write equations for the volatages in the circuit. The considered electic circuitis composed of three meshes, therefore, three volatage equations are written.

In order the designate the transfer function of the considered electirc circuit. All variables, which are time dependant, need to be transformed to the Laplace form i.e. to the domain of a variable s. This is shown below i.e. the input signal u(t) is being transformed to its Laplace equivalent U(s).
