- TL;DR Summary
- Will E and B amplitudes be out of phase?
I am not an electrical or electronic engineer. I am trying to understand how a simple, series LC circuit running at it's resonant frequency can generate EM waves. I believe, based on what I have read, that the frequency of the generated EM waves will be the resonant frequency of the circuit and that the wavelength of those waves is based on the physical size of the circuit and the properties of its two components.
In the circuit, the electrical energy in the capacitor and the magnetic energy in the inductor will be 180 degrees out of phase. Does that mean that the E and B amplitudes of the generated EM wave will also be 180 degrees out of phase?
Thank you in advance.
