- Switch is set to position 2 when capacitor is fully charged.


✓ Negligible total resistance: the system is Periodic of period 𝑇0
Periodic

✓ The total resistance is less than the critical resistance: the system is under-
damped
Under damped

✓ The total resistance is equal to the critical resistance: the system is critically-
damped

Critically damped

✓ The total resistance is greater than the critical resistance: the system is over-
damped

Over damped

- Effect of circuit parameters on the electrical oscillation:

✓ Resistance: when R increases T increases.

R1 R=R2 and R2 > R1

✓ Inductance: when L increases T increases.


✓ Capacitance: When C increases T increases.

- Energy in RLC circuit:
✓ Energy transfers from capacitor towards inductor and vice versa.
✓ Total energy: 𝐸𝑡 = 𝐸𝑒 + 𝐸𝑚
