If a charged capacitor is connected across an inductor, charge will start to flow through the inductor, building up a magnetic field around it, and reducing the voltage on the capacitor. Eventually all the charge on the capacitor will be gone and the voltage across it will reach zero. However, the current will continue, because inductors resist changes in current, and energy to keep it flowing is extracted from the magnetic field, which will begin to decline. The current will begin to charge the capacitor with a voltage of opposite polarity to its original charge. When the magnetic field is completely dissipated the current will stop and the charge will again be stored in the capacitor, with the opposite polarity as before. Then the cycle will begin again, with the current flowing in the opposite direction through the inductor.The charge flows back and forth between the plates of the capacitor, through the inductor. The energy oscillates back and forth between the capacitor and the inductor until (if not replenished by power from an external circuit) internal resistance makes the oscillations die out. Its action, known mathematically as a harmonic oscillator, is similar to a pendulum swinging back and forth, or water sloshing back and forth in a tank. For this reason the circuit is also called a tank circuit. The oscillation frequency is determined by the capacitance and inductance values used. In typical tuned circuits in electronic equipment the oscillations are very fast, thousands to millions of times per second.

What is role of LC circuit in the hartley oscillator?
Self-tuning feedback
What is Franklin oscillator?
It is an electrical oscillator which uses two transistors or vacuum tubes and a LC circuit. The two transistors are connected as a two stage amplifier, both stages are inverting. the output of the second is coupled to the input of the first by a tuned circuit. Provided the amplifiers have enough gain, the circuit will oscillate, because the two amplifiers each give 180 degree phase shift, so the output is in phase iwth the input, so the oscillations build, until they are limited in amplitude by gain compression.
What is the difference between oscillator and feedback amplifier?
There are two differences: a) the amount of feedback you allow b) whether you wire a frequency-determining device into the circuit First things first: ANY amplifier circuit that uses feedback, which these days is most of 'em because feedback improves the quality of an amp's output, will oscillate if there's enough feedback. This poses a real problem because the more feedback you use, the better the amp sounds. Your challenge, therefore, is to make an amp that uses not quite enough feedback to oscillate. The other is equally critical. If you want oscillation you usually want it on a specific frequency. You can build an LC tank or a crystal into the circuit to determine the output frequency if you're building an oscillator; if you're building an amp you wouldn't do this.
How do you use oscillate in a sentence?
The word "oscillate" in everyday speech means to go back and forth, either physically or mentally. An example of a sentence using the word "oscillate" is "My new job is great, but I have to oscillate between New York and Los Angeles at least once a week. "
What is the complete path where a charge can flow?
An electrical closed circuit.
Where is the LC Circuit located?
The LC circuit, or tank circuit, is most commonly located in radios. Its function is to tune radio transmitters to a specific station. The LC circuit consists of an inductor (L), and a capacitor(C), hence the term, LC circuit.
Can a series resonant circuit oscillate as a parallel resonant circuit does?
yes
What is the difference between LC and RC filters?
LC means coil capacitance circuit RC means resistance capacitance circuit
Why doesn't LC circuit exist?
even though a resistance is not connected in a circuit, it would practically have small resistance due to its components.so practically a LC circuit dosent exist..only a RLC circuit exists
Are LC circuits and tuned circuits same thing?
a "LC circuit at resonance" and tuned circuits are the same
When a parallel LC circuit is tuned to resonance will the current be at a maximum or a minimum?
Inside the circuit loop between the inductor and capacitor the current will be at maximum. Outside the circuit the current through the LC tank circuit will be at minimum. It depends on where you are measuring it.
Time constant of LC circuit is?
T=sqrtLC
How does a transistor act as a oscillator?
A: actually any active components will oscillate with positive feedback A transistor can be used as an amplifier along with an LC tank circuit to form an oscillator; it is an active device (as LIBURNO states) which will amplify the feedback signal coming out of the LC tank circuit. The tank circuit has a natural resonant frequency, meaning the L and C together will try to generate a specific frequency; this is then fed back into the input of the transistor amplifier, and the output is fed to the LC tank circuit exacerbating this oscillation until it reaches its' maximum level. An inverting amplifier can be used similarly; the output is fed to the input; this will cause the output to change as fast as the amplifier can. The frequency of this design is much harder to control, but potentially higher. Also, without the LC tank, the output voltage will remain lower.
When a parallel LC circuit is tuned to resonance the tank circuit draws?
very low current
Parallel tuned circuit in resonance frequency?
A parallel resonant circuit has at its heart an inductorand a capacitor. These are the two parallel components. They each react to voltage and current 180 degrees out of phase with each other. When we "hit" this circuit, called a parallel tank circuit, or just a tank, with voltage, one component is "putting energy into the circuit" while the other one is "storing it up" and then the two components switch roles. The result is that the tank will oscillate, and the frequency of oscillation will be determined by the value of the capacitor and the inductor.
What is the roll of bleeder resistance in LC filter circuit and what will happen if the bleeder resistor is not used in circuit?
