Which outcome results when a capacitor discharges into an inductive load?

💡 Explanation

Damped oscillations occur because energy transfers bidirectionally between the capacitor's electric field and the inductor's magnetic field, causing an oscillation in current that decays via the RLC circuit, rather than a continuous state that other choices suggest can result absent sustained input.
