  1. An LC circuit (inductor and capacitor connected) exhibits:
  2. An LC circuit has L = 0.10 H and C = 25 μF. Calculate the oscillation frequency (in Hz). (Use pi approx 3.14)
  3. In an ideal LC circuit, as the charge on the capacitor decreases to zero, the current:
  4. The LC circuit is analogous to a mass-spring system. The correct analogy is:
