Electrical oscillations are initiated in a series circuit containing a capacitance C, inductance L, and resistance R. (a) If R << sqrt4L/C (weak damping), what time interval elapses before the amplitude of the current oscillation falls to 50.0% of its initial value? (b) Over what time interval does the energy decrease to 50.0% of its initial value?
