What is an LC Tank Circuit || How to Construct an LC Tank Circuit

This simulation demonstrates an LC Oscillator, where energy continuously transfers between the inductor and capacitor, producing oscillations. The waveform shows the voltage across the inductor (green), the current through the inductor (yellow), and the current through the capacitor (red). As the capacitor charges and discharges, it drives current through the inductor, creating sinusoidal oscillations at the circuit’s resonant frequency (around 159 kHz here). This highlights the fundamental prin

This simulation demonstrates an LC Oscillator Circuit that generates a continuous sinusoidal waveform using the combination of an inductor (L) and capacitor (C). The circuit uses a transistor for amplification and a tuned LC tank circuit consisting of a 10 µH inductor and a 10 nF capacitor to determine the oscillation frequency. When powered by a 3 V supply, the energy alternates between the inductor’s magnetic field and the capacitor’s electric field, producing sustained oscillations at approxi
