LC Oscillator

An LC oscillator is an electronic circuit that generates continuous, repetitive electrical signals, typically in the form of a radio frequency wave. It consists of an inductor (L) and a capacitor (C) connected together. The inductor stores energy in a magnetic field, while the capacitor stores energy in an electric field. When energy shifts between these two components, it creates oscillations—regular, repeating cycles. These oscillations produce a steady radio signal used for communication, broadcasting, and other electronic applications. The LC oscillator is valued for its stability and ability to generate precise, sustained frequencies.
