L C Oscillation and LCR Damped Oscillation
Question

A LCR circuit behaves like a damped harmonic oscillator. Comparing it with a physical spring-mass damped oscillator having damping constant 'b', the correct equivalence would be:

L ↔ k, C ↔ b, R ↔ m

L↔1b,C↔1m,R↔1k

L ↔ m, C ↔ k, R ↔ b

L↔m,C↔1k,R↔b

Solution

In damped oscillation

ma + bv + kx = 0

md2xdt2+bdxdt+kx=0     ….(i)

In the circuit

−iR−Ldidt−qc=0

Ld2qdt2+Rdqdt+1c.q=0    …..(ii)

Comparing equation (i) and (ii)

m=L,b=R,k=1c
