This circuit simulates the oscillation that occurs within an LRC circuit. This electric oscillation behaves in the same way as a mechanical one. Therefore, for the equation of motion of a damped mechanical system, mx''(t) + cx'(t) + kx(t) = 0, has an equivalent of: Lq''(t) + Rq'(t) + (1/C)q(t) = 0.
Where:
m - mass
c - damping coefficient
k - spring coefficient
x - displacement
L - inductance
R - resistance
C - capacitance
q - charge
