Problem 31.8: RC oscillations
Please wait for the animation to completely load.
Assume ideal circuit components (voltage across the capacitor [blue] is given in volts, current [red] is given in milliamperes, and time is given in seconds). A capacitor is charged and connected to an inductor. Watch what happens to the voltage across the capacitor and to the current. Restart.
- What is the value of the inductor?
- What is the average power dissipated? Why?
