An LC circuit consists of an inductor (L) and a capacitor (C) connected together, typically in series or parallel.
What happens to the energy in an LC circuit?
The energy oscillates between the electric field of the capacitor and the magnetic field of the inductor without loss in an ideal LC circuit.
How do you calculate the resonant frequency of an LC circuit?
The resonant frequency (f) is calculated using the formula: f = 1 / (2π√(LC)), where L is inductance and C is capacitance.
What is the role of damping in an LC circuit?
Damping refers to the reduction of oscillations in an LC circuit, often due to resistance causing energy loss as heat.
Define the quality factor of an LC circuit.
The quality factor (Q) is a dimensionless parameter that measures the sharpness of the resonance of the circuit. It's the ratio of resonant frequency to bandwidth.
