The circuit you've provided includes several components: resistors $R_1$ and $R_2$, an inductor $L$, and a capacitor $C$. The goal is to derive the differential equation that relates the voltage $u_{AB}$ across points $A$ and $B$ with the current $i_1$ through resistor $R_1$. Let's break down the steps.

Step-by-Step Approach:

1. Define the circuit currents:

   • Let $i_1$ be the current through $R_1$.
   • Let $i_2$ be the current through $R_2$.
   • The current through the inductor $L$ is $i_L$.

2. KCL (Kirchhoff's Current Law) at the node where $R_1$, $R_2$, and $L$ meet: $i_1 = i_2 + i_L$ So, the current through the inductor can be expressed as: $i_L = i_1 - i_2$

3. Voltage across resistor $R_2$ and inductor $L$: Using Ohm’s law, the voltage across $R_2$ is: $u_{R_2} = R_2 \cdot i_2$ The voltage across the inductor $L$ is given by the inductance law: $u_L = L \frac{di_L}{dt} = L \frac{d(i_1 - i_2)}{dt}$

4. Mesh equations:

   • The total voltage $u_{AB}$ can be expressed as: $u_{AB} = u_{R_2} + u_L$ Substituting for $u_{R_2}$ and $u_L$: $u_{AB} = R_2 i_2 + L \frac{d(i_1 - i_2)}{dt}$

5. Eliminate $i_2$: Using the mesh equation for the circuit involving $R_1$ and $C$: $u_{AB} = R_1 i_1 + \frac{1}{C} \int i_1 dt$

6. Combine everything: Now, we can substitute the expression for $i_2$ from the earlier steps, and differentiate appropriately to eliminate the integrals and express the relationship between $u_{AB}$ and $i_1$.

This method will lead us to the final differential equation.

Would you like to explore the complete mathematical solution, or do you need clarification on any specific part of the process so far?

Here are some questions to further explore the concepts involved:

1. How do you find the voltage-current relationship for inductors and capacitors?
2. What is the role of Kirchhoff’s voltage and current laws in circuit analysis?
3. How would the differential equation change if an additional resistor was added in parallel with the inductor?
4. How does the energy stored in inductors and capacitors influence the transient response of the circuit?
5. Can you derive a similar equation for the output voltage across the capacitor $C$?

Tip: In RL and RC circuits, inductors resist changes in current and capacitors resist changes in voltage. These properties lead to differential equations governing their behavior.
