Which outcome reliably occurs as a charged capacitor discharges across an inductor?

A)Energy oscillates through resonant inductive reactance
B)Ohmic resistance immediately dampens oscillations
C)Dielectric breakdown causes a complete short
D)Capacitance instantly reaches its peak voltage

💡 Explanation

Energy oscillates because the damped harmonic oscillator, also called LC circuit resonance, establishes a charge flow back and forth between the capacitor and inductor. Therefore, energy oscillates, rather than immediately damping or a short, because the circuit has both capacitive and inductive reactance.
