LC Oscillation: Current Flow & Charge Polarity

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

In LC oscillation, current flows from the inductor to the capacitor, resulting in opposite charge polarity on the capacitor plates. This phenomenon occurs due to the energy exchange between the inductor's magnetic field and the capacitor's electric field. The current does not flow in reverse to charge the capacitor in the same manner because the oscillation is a continuous cycle governed by the principles of electromagnetic induction and resonance. Understanding this behavior is crucial for analyzing LC circuits in electrical engineering.

when in LC oscillation current flow from inductance to capacitor and charge is opposite polarity. why don't current flow in reverse of it and charging the capacitor in same manner as it was earlier.

I don’t understand what you are saying. Can you add a picture or an equation explaining what you want to know?
