- Analogue of equation (1.2) also appears in the theory of electric circuits the LC circuits. For a discussion on this see p. 845 (equation 38.5) in D. Halliday and R. Resnick, Physics, Vol 2, Third Edition, John Wiley and Sons, 1978. On p. 848 of this important book one finds the following differential equation for an LCR circuit:
- $\frac{d^2 q}{d t^2}+\frac{R}{L} \frac{d q}{d t}+\frac{q}{L C}=0$
- which is the electrical analogue of the damped harmonic motion exhibited in springs (see equation 15.37 of Halliday-Resnick).
