SUMMARY
An L-C circuit undergoing resonance exhibits sinusoidal current described by the equation I(t) = I*cos(omega*t). The confusion arises when integrating this function, with some participants mistakenly suggesting I*t*sin(omega*t) as a result. The correct integration leads to I*sin(omega*t)/omega, where omega represents the constant angular frequency. Understanding that I is the current at time t=0 is crucial for accurate calculations.
