3. Signal timescales of interest are much larger than propagation delay of [[electromagnetic waves]] across the lumped element.

The first two assumptions result in [[Kirchhoff's circuit laws]] when applied to [[Maxwell's equations]] and are only applicable whenfor DC circuits and for AC circuits at frequencies where the circuitwavelengths isof inelectromagnetic [[steadyradiation stateare (electronics)|steadyvery state]].large compared to the circuits. The third assumption is the basis of the lumped element model used in [[Network analysis (electrical circuits)|network analysis]]. Less severe assumptions result in the [[distributed element model]], while still not requiring the direct application of the full Maxwell equations.
