Overview
An RLC series circuit comprises an inductor, a resistor, and a charged capacitor connected in series. When the circuit is closed, the capacitor begins to discharge through the resistor and inductor by transferring energy from the electric field to the magnetic field. Here, the resistor connected to the circuit causes energy losses; therefore, on the complete discharge of the capacitor, the magnetic field energy acquired by the inductor is less than the original electric field energy of the capacitor. Similarly, the energy acquired by the capacitor when the magnetic field has decreased to zero is smaller than the original magnetic field energy of the inductor. The energy oscillations between the capacitor and inductor decrease in magnitude with time. The total decrease in electromagnetic energy is equal to the energy dissipated in the resistor. Such energy oscillations are called damped oscillations, and the circuit is said to be an RLC damped circuit. This behavior is analogous to the mass-spring damped harmonic oscillator. Similar to a damped harmonic oscillator, the oscillations in a damped RLC circuit can be of three forms. If the resistance is relatively small, the circuit oscillates but with damped harmonic motion, and the circuit is said to be underdamped. If the resistance in the circuit is increased, the oscillations die out more rapidly. When it reaches a certain value, the circuit no longer oscillates and is termed critically damped. Fo…

Embed code vs URL
An embed code allows you to place a JoVE video directly inside of your learning or training environment. Most learning management systems such as Canvas, Blackboard, and Moodle require an embed code for JoVE content to stream.
A URL allows you to place a link in programs such as PowerPoint or Microsoft Word which takes a user to a separate page where they can watch a JoVE video.
Most of the time, you will want to use the embed code. However, there are some environments that don’t support embed codes such as Google Classrooms and MS Teams. In those instances, you can use a URL to still provide access to JoVE videos.
What is an Embed Code?
Basically, it’s a snippet of code that you put on your website that displays as a video. An embed code pulls the video from the original source, allowing you to display a video without having to host the file on your website.
How to embed a video
STEP 1: COPY YOUR EMBED CODE
To generate the embed code, simply click the Copy button above. You can customize it by choosing a specific language for the video, or setting exact dimensions for the video player.
STEP 2: PASTE THE EMBED CODE INTO YOUR ENVIRONMENT
Embed codes can be used in most learning management systems (Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle…), organizational websites, and a host of other tools. The specifics of how to add in an embed code will depend on your environment.
Generally, it involves accessing a text editor, entering the HTML mode on the editor, and pasting in the embed code. Get more details on embedding into specific environments here.
