Hi All,
Question about this paragraph from the book -
If we assume that both components are subjected to a sudden application of voltage (say, from a momentarily connected battery), the capacitor will very quickly charge and the inductor will oppose change in current, leaving the capacitor in the charged state and the inductor in the discharged state
I'm confused why the cap can hold a charge while the inductor is discharged even if both are loads to the sudden pulse of battery source.
---EDIT
From what i've read, is it because the cap draws much more current, acting more of a "short"?
If the battery were kept there longer, charging both elements fully, would it just do nothing and not oscillate?
