To Study transient response of Tank Circuit .

Components:
1. Capacitor
2. Resistor
3. Inductor
4. DC Voltage Source
5. Ground
6. Wires (for Connections)

Software:
MATLAB

Theory :
Tank Circuit:
If an Inductor and a Capacitor are connected in parallel with each other, and then briefly energized by
connection to a DC voltage source, oscillations will ensue as energy is exchanged from the capacitor
to inductor and vice versa. Such circuits are commonly known as tank circuits.
Explanation:
An LC circuit, also called a resonant circuit, tank circuit, or tuned circuit, is an electric circuit
consisting of an inductor, represented by the letter L, and a capacitor, represented by the letter C,
connected together. The circuit can act as an electrical resonator, an electrical analogue of a tuning
fork, storing energy oscillating at the circuit's resonant frequency.
Tank means it stores ,sometimes it is also called resonant or tuned circuit this "resonant" or "tuned"
circuit works by energy flowing back and forth between the capacitor and the inductor, and back
again.
Now:
As Inductive Reactance is given by:

XL=2πfL
And Capacitive Reactance is given by:
1
XC=
2𝜋𝑓𝐶

Now we can set the two reactance formula equal to each other and solve for frequency:

XL=XC
1
2πfL=
2𝜋𝑓𝐶

Simplifying
1
f=
2𝜋√𝐿𝐶
