Question

Answer

Explanation:
LC oscillations refer to the oscillations of charge and current in an LC circuit. An LC circuit consists of an inductor and a capacitor connected in parallel or series.

When a charged capacitor is connected to an inductor, the electric current in the circuit and the charge on the capacitor undergo LC oscillations. This is because the charged capacitor initially has a high voltage across its plates, and when it is connected to the inductor, the inductor opposes the change in current and starts to store energy in its magnetic field.

As the current starts to flow in the inductor, it charges the capacitor in the opposite direction, leading to a decrease in the voltage across the capacitor. The capacitor then discharges through the inductor, causing the current to decrease, and the inductor starts to release its energy stored in the magnetic field. This cycle repeats itself, leading to LC oscillations in the circuit.

Hence, option C is the correct statement.

Answer

When we are connecting a charged capacitor to an inductor, the electric current in the circuit and charge on the capacitor undergoes LC oscillations. All the others are incorrect statements regarding LC Oscillations.
