Inductor Capacitor Oscillator Circuit. Lc circuit left consisting of ferrite coil and capacitor used as a tuned circuit in the receiver for a radio clock an lc circuit also called a resonant circuit tank circuit or tuned circuit is an electric circuit consisting of an inductor represented by the letter l and a capacitor represented by the letter c connected together. An rlc circuit is an electrical circuit consisting of a resistor r an inductor l and a capacitor c connected in series or in parallel.
If an inductor and a capacitor are connected in parallel with each other and then briefly energized by connection to a dc voltage source oscillations will ensue as energy is exchanged from the capacitor to inductor and vice versa. Once the capacitor discharges the inductor will try to keep the current in the circuit moving so it will charge up the other plate of the capacitor. Once the inductor s field collapses the capacitor has been recharged but with the opposite polarity so it discharges again through the inductor.
A circuit containing both an inductor l and a capacitor c can oscillate without a source of emf by shifting the energy stored in the circuit between the electric and magnetic fields.
Once the inductor s field collapses the capacitor has been recharged but with the opposite polarity so it discharges again through the inductor. The name of the circuit is derived from the letters that are used to denote the constituent components of this circuit where the sequence of the components may vary from rlc. These oscillations may be viewed with an oscilloscope connected in parallel with the inductor capacitor circuit.
