Question

In a loss-free R-L-C circuit, the transient current is
Options
A Oscillating
Correct Answer
B Square wave
C Constant
D Decaying
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

In a loss-free R-L-C circuit (meaning R=0), the transient current would be purely oscillatory. Without any resistance to dissipate energy, the energy would continuously shuttle between the inductor (magnetic field) and the capacitor (electric field), resulting in sustained oscillations.

Hint

Consider the role of resistance in dampening oscillations in an RLC circuit. What happens when there's no resistance?
