LC Swing

Charge sloshes between a capacitor and a coil. Predict the current and the time.

Physics · Class 12 · LC oscillations · 6 simulations. For JEE, NEET and your boards.

What you'll learn

  1. Peak current: The energy swaps between C and L
  2. First empty: A quarter period to empty
  3. Half the voltage: The total energy stays the same
  4. A quarter in the coil: The energy moves fast, then slow
  5. Equal shares: Equal energy is not equal charge
  6. A field ramp drives it: A steady emf makes the loop swing
