The document summarizes an experimental report on the free oscillation of an RLC circuit. In part 1, the resistance of the coil was measured to be 5.71 ohms and the inductance was measured to be 5.8x10-3 henries. In part 2, the frequency of oscillation was measured to be 588.2 Hz and calculated to be 660.8 Hz, with a difference of 72.6 Hz. The total energy in the circuit was calculated to be the sum of the capacitor's electric potential energy and the coil's magnetic energy, and decays over time as energy is lost to heat through the resistor at a rate of i2R.

The total energy in RLC circuit:
1 1 U =U c + U L = C V 2 + L I 2 2 2
Comment:
- After stopping the electric power, the energy of the circuit does not decrease rapidly to zero, it reduces to zero over a short period of time.
- The energy of oscillations of the coil and the capacitor are damped oscillations.
Explain:
The energy of the circuit loses by the heat of the resistor at rate i2 R
The graph of total energy is steepest at the time that the magnetic energy reaches a local maximum because in these times, the current through the coil is highest, and the loss of energy is mainly due to the resistance of the coil ( ΔQ=i 2 R ).
