Electrical circuit 2026-10-05
An electrical circuit connects components that carry electric current and sustain electric potential difference differences. Its dynamics may couple electrical resistance, inductance and capacitance.
With no electrical resistance or applied electric potential difference, divide the equation by the inductance to get a simple harmonic oscillator with angular frequency . Its general real solution is
Each nonzero solution has period . Here is an angular frequency; the ordinary frequency in cycles per unit time is .
