What effect occurs when a resonant circuit experiences a sudden transient voltage spike?

💡 Explanation

When a transient voltage spike hits a resonant circuit, it excites the natural frequency leading to damped high-frequency oscillation because the energy dissipates over time through resistance. Therefore a damped oscillation occurs, rather than distortion, breakdown, or power factor reduction which involve different mechanisms influenced by steady-state conditions.
