What is Lc: Definition and 167 Discussions

The Lexus LC (Japanese: レクサス・LC, Rekusasu LC) is a grand tourer manufactured by Lexus, Toyota's luxury division. Based on the 2012 LF-LC Concept, it was revealed at the 2016 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. It replaced the SC, which was produced from 1991 to 2010. It is the first Lexus model to utilize the GA-L platform, which, along with other components, is shared with the full-size XF50 series LS sedan. According to Lexus, the name "LC" stands for "Luxury Coupe".

    Understanding nature of current in LC circuit

    Alright, I have an LC circuit. Using conservation of energy, I get \frac{dI}{dt}= \frac{-q}{CL} which gives \frac{d^2q}{dt^2}= \frac{-q}{CL}, therefore, q=q_o sin(\omega t +\phi), where \omega= \frac{1}{\sqrt {LC}}, giving q=q_o cos(\omega t) which implies I= -q_o \omega sin(\omega t). Now...
