One of the fundamental circuits in electrical engineering, this circuit must have been analysed more times than all the others put together. It can be used to teach resonance, energy storage, transient response, filtering, complex numbers, Q, practical inductors (SpiceAge can make frequency dependent resistors), radio tuning (it is really a parallel tuned circuit when the generator is shorted), damping, Laplace, quadratics with complex roots, completing the square and most other topics in electrical engineering (with a little imagination).
We decided to see how many different types of analysis SpiceAge could do on this circuit - a few are given below:-
