With no electrical resistance or applied electric potential difference, divide the equation by the inductance $L$ to get a simple harmonic oscillator with angular frequency ${\omega }_0=(LC{)}^{-1/2}$. Its general real solution isEach nonzero solution has period $2\pi \sqrt{LC}$. Here ${\omega }_0$ is an angular frequency; the ordinary frequency in cycles per unit time is ${\omega }_0/(2\pi )$.
