When an oscillation occurs in an RLC circuit, (a) which component(s) act as energy storage elements? (b) In what form does/do the component(s) store the energy? (c) Which components) provide the dampening effect (dissipation of energy)? (d) In what form does/do the component(s) dissipate the energy?

Solution

a. When an oscillation occurs the components capacitor and inductor present in the circuit acts as energy storage elements.

b. As the capaciors and inductors are purely storage elemnts, capacitor store the energy in Electric field and the inductor store the energy in Magnetic field.

c.The resistor present in the circuit provides the damping effect and the dissipation of energy is done by reisistor only.

d.The dissipation of energy by the resistor in the circuit is in the form of heat only.
