First order differential equation is a mathematical equation that relates a function to its first derivative and no higher order derivatives.
It express the relationship between a variable and its rate of change.
The rate of cooling of an object is proportional to the temperature difference between object (T) and its surrounding (Ts) provided that this difference is not too large.
Where: T(t)= temperature of object at time t.
Ts= temperature of the surrounding.
k= constant
In an electrical circuit having resistance R, current I, inductance and EMF E, the kirchhoff's law states that sum of the voltage drop in an electrical circuit is equal to the total EMP in the circuit.
Euler's method is a first order numerical method for approximating solutions to ordinary differential equations.
This method iteratively updates the values based on the derivatives at each step.
Where: xn= is the current x value.
yn= is the current y value.
h= step size.
The Runge-Kutta method provides the approximate value of y for given point x.
Only the first order can be solved using the Runge-Kutta method.
