This document describes a laboratory experiment on damped free oscillations in RLC circuits. The experiment aims to observe different oscillation regimes, measure critical resistance, and determine logarithmic decrement and damping factor. The procedure details the setup of an RLC circuit using a GBF, variable resistor, capacitor, inductor and oscilloscope. Key measurements and calculations are shown for critical damped and underdamped cases.
