Shouldn't all the energy be 0 at beginning?
Thanks!
An RLC circuit is a type of electrical circuit that consists of a resistor (R), inductor (L), and capacitor (C) connected in series or parallel. This type of circuit is commonly used in electronic devices and power systems.
The purpose of an RLC circuit is to regulate and control the flow of electrical energy. It can be used to filter out unwanted frequencies, amplify signals, or store energy for later use.
In an RLC circuit, energy moves back and forth between the capacitor and inductor, with the resistor limiting the amount of energy that can flow through the circuit. This creates a resonant frequency, where the circuit can store and release large amounts of energy.
The amount of energy in an RLC circuit is affected by the values of the components (resistor, inductor, and capacitor), the frequency of the input signal, and the quality factor (Q) of the circuit. The Q factor determines how efficiently the circuit can store and release energy.
Energy in an RLC circuit is dissipated through the resistor as heat. This is known as resistive loss or damping. The amount of energy dissipated is determined by the resistance of the circuit, and can be reduced by using components with lower resistance values.
