what is the period of these oscillations? (3) The switch in the electric circuit shown in the Figure is initially in an orientation that connects the EMF and resistor to the inductor, leaving the capacitor out of the electric circuit Once a steady-state current is obtained, the switch is then moved so that the inductor and capacitor are connected, and the EMF and resistance are out of the electric circuit In this new orientation the energy of the circuit will oscillate between being stored in the inductor and being stored in the capacitor What is the period of these Oscillations? Solution The oscillation time equal to the time constant of the circuit In new position = 1/LC .
