Lc circuit Definition and 105 Threads

Let's say we have an LC circuit and we begin with the capacitor fully charged, it then starts discharging, and currents begins to flow in the circuit, and a magnetic field is generated in the inductor because of the current flowing through it. My question is, why is the magnetic field in this...

We seem to have the following circuit and the differential equation ##\ddot{q}+\omega^2q=0## where ##\omega=\frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}##. The solution is $$q(t)=A\cos{(\omega t+\phi)}$$ Since ##I(t)=-\dot{q}(t)## we have $$I(t)=-\dot{q}(t)=A\omega\sin{(\omega t+\phi)}$$ At ##t=0## we have...

I just started taking LC circuits, and I was wondering, when capacitors charge without a resistance, they charge immediately, so when they discharge in an LC circuit, why don't they "send" all of their charge immediately? Is it because that's how capacitors work in general, or is it because of...

Here is the circuit I'm working with. So, I was able to get the correct equation by using the Equation Omega=I max/Q max = 1/sqrt(LC). I calculated Qmax by multiplying 150V * .5microfarad, and Imax by doing the 40V/150Ohms. Then, I just solved for L and got the correct answer. My question is...

I wrote down the equation of motion for In(t) and I'm trying to match it with infinite spring mass system equation solution. In the spring mass system, we consider A to be the equilibrium length of the springs, and we can thus write Xn(t) = X(nA,t) and put it back into the equation of motion...

I have been studying electronical circuit. In general, it is not difficult and is more about to solve EDO. The main problem is, really, the signs. See as follows: $$V_{L} = L dI/dt, V_{c} = +- Q/C$$ ? Should i put a minus sign there? Or shout i maintain the signs? When do i know what sign to...
