← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when a capacitor discharges rapidly into an inductive circuit?
A)Voltage ringing and oscillation exist✓
B)Ohmic resistance monotonically increases
C)Inductance instantaneously drops to zero
D)Capacitance is rectified into direct current
💡 Explanation
Voltage ringing occurs because LC circuits exhibit **resonance**, causing energy to oscillate between the capacitor and inductor giving rise to alternating peaks and troughs in voltage. Therefore, voltage rings, rather than exhibiting monotonic dissipation seen purely in resistance, under transient conditions.
