Ringing

Ringing is an electrical phenomenon that occurs when a signal, such as a sudden change in voltage, causes oscillations in a circuit's components like inductors and capacitors. These oscillations produce a series of diminishing "echoes" or "blips" that can appear as a ringing sound or visual disturbance. It often happens when a circuit is abruptly switched on or off or when a signal changes quickly. Ringing can lead to signal distortion or interference, so engineers design circuits to minimize it through damping techniques or component choices, ensuring cleaner and more stable circuit performance.
