LCR Circuit Oscillations
An LCR circuit contains a resistor (R), a capacitor (C) and an inductor (L). In this simulation, the capacitor is charged up, and then the circuit is left to oscillate, with no external power supply operating. A pure LC circuit would oscillate forever, but the resistance in the circuit dissipates power, so the energy in the LCR system is always decreasing. This means it acts as a damped harmonic oscillator
