Abstract


The Lagrangian and Hamiltonian for series RLC circuit has been formulated. We use the analogical concept of classical mechanics with electrical quantity. The analogy is as follow mass, position, spring constant, velocity, and damping constant corresponding with inductance, charge, the reciprocal of capacitance, electric current, and resistance respectively. We find the Lagrangian for the LC, RL, RC, and RLC circuit by using the analogy and find the kinetic
and potential energy. First, we formulate the Lagrangian of the system. Second, we construct the Hamiltonian of the system by using the Legendre transformation of the Lagrangian. The results indicate that the Hamiltonian is the total energy of the system which means the equation of constraints is time independent. In addition, the Hamiltonian of overdamping and critical damping oscillation is distinguished by a certain factor.
