A circuit containing both an inductor (L) and a capacitor (C) can oscillate without a source of emf by shifting the energy stored in the circuit between the electric and magnetic fields. These concepts are applicable to the exchange of energy between the electric and magnetic fields in electromagnetic waves. We consider an idealized circuit of zero resistance in an LC circuit.
