The LC oscillations are eventually dampened by the resistor. The entire original energy (= 1.0 J) is dissipated as heat in the end.
An LC circuit contains a 20 mH inductor and a 50 µF capacitor with an initial charge of 10 mC. The resistance of the circuit is negligible. If a resistor is inserted in the circuit, how much energy is eventually dissipated as heat?
