In this paper, the application of Lagrangian mechanic principles is introduced for dynamic analysis of lumped-element electric circuits containing resistors and sources of independent voltages and currents. It was discussed that formal analogy between the generalized coordinates of masses in classical mechanics and charges in electric circuit theory allows making up a clear qualitative interpretation of the proposed analytical method that paves the way for its further application to analysis of complex physical systems.
