* Introduction
LRC circuits are equivalent to mass-spring oscillation systems in terms of the [[id:4be41e2e-52b9-4cd1-ac4c-7ecb57106692][differential equation]] generated. In other
words, they are an example of a wave generator. First we introduce the LRC circuit without a voltage source. Later,
another circuit diagram will include a possibly variable voltage source.

* Mass-Spring Equation Equivalence
We know these relations for the given circuit elements above:
\begin{align}
v(t) = L\frac{di}{dt} \\
i(t) = C\frac{dv}{dt} \\
v = iR
\end{align}
if we analyze the current signal, Kirchhoff's voltage law tells us that the total voltage
drop throughout this circuit is zero. We use the capacitor equation in integral form and sum the voltages:
\begin{align*}
L\frac{di}{dt} + \frac{1}{C}\int i(t)dt + iR = 0
\end{align*}
We then take a derivative to remove the integral:
\begin{align*}
L\frac{d^{2}i}{dt^{2}} + R\frac{di}{dt} + \frac{1}{C}i = 0 \\
(LD^{2} + RD + \frac{1}{C}) i(t) = 0
\end{align*}
it is clear that the characteristic polynomial of this homogeneous linear [[id:4be41e2e-52b9-4cd1-ac4c-7ecb57106692][differential equation]] is:
\begin{align*}
L\lambda^{2} + R\lambda + \frac{1}{C} = 0
\end{align*}
which, utilizing the quadratic formula, has the solutions:
\begin{align*}
\lambda_{1} = \frac{-R + \sqrt{R^{2} - \frac{4L}{C}}}{2L},
\lambda_{2} = \frac{-R - \sqrt{R^{2} - \frac{4L}{C}}}{2L}
\end{align*}
which implies the general solution to this [[id:4be41e2e-52b9-4cd1-ac4c-7ecb57106692][differential equation]] is:
\begin{align*}
i(t) = Ae^{\lambda_{1} t} + Be^{\lambda_{2} t}
\end{align*}
We can make this nicer by setting $-\frac{R}{2L} = m$, $\frac{\sqrt{R^{2} - \frac{4L}{C}}}{2L} = p$,
then $\lambda_{1} = m + p$, $\lambda_{2} = m - p$. Then:
\begin{align*}
i(t) = Ae^{(m + p) t} + Be^{(m - p) t}
\end{align*}
** Underdampened Oscillation
In the case $R^{2} < \frac{4L}{C}$, $p = i\frac{\sqrt{\sigma}}{2L}$ for some $\sigma > 0$. We re-cast $\lambda = \frac{\sqrt{\sigma}}{2L}$ so $p = i\lambda$. Then:
\begin{align*}
i(t) = Ae^{m + i\lambda t} + Be^{m -i\lambda t}
\end{align*}
This function $i(t)$ clearly describes an sinusoidal oscillation.
** Critical Oscillation
In the case $R^{2} - \frac{4L}{C} = 0$, we have:
\begin{align*}
i(t) = Ae^{mt} + Be^{mt} = Ce^{mt}
\end{align*}
note that this is actually a decaying solution because $m$ must be negative.

Here is the circuit diagram for the LRC circuit with a voltage source:

This new [[id:4be41e2e-52b9-4cd1-ac4c-7ecb57106692][differential equation]] looks like this:
\begin{align*}
[LD^{2} + RD + \frac{1}{C}]i(t) = V_{0}sin(\phi + 2\pi\omega t)
\end{align*}
where the right hand side of the equation includes the term created by the AC [[id:951db9ac-3e8b-49a1-b609-2bbb795be834][voltage]] source.
