LC VOLTAGE

image-1729909194850.pngThe voltage across the inductor (c) or capacitor (ER of t) is greater than the applied voltage (h).

At frequency close to resonance, the voltage across the individual components is higher than the applied voltage (h), and, at resonant frequency, the voltage VT across both the inductor and the capacitor are theoretically infinite.

However, physical constraints of components and circuit interaction prevent the voltage from reaching infinity.

The voltage (VL) across the inductor (C) is given by the equation:
