→The circuit shown in the figure contains an inductor $L$, a capacitor $C_0$, a resistor $R_0$ and an ideal battery. The circuit also contains two keys $K_1$ and $K_2$. Initially, both the keys are open and there is no charge on the capacitor. At an instant, key $K_1$ is closed and immediately after this the current in $R_0$ is found to be $l_1$. After a long time, the current attains a steady state value $I_2$. Thereafter, $K_2$ is closed and simultaneously $K_1$ is opened and the voltage across $C_0$ oscillates with amplitude $V_0$ and angular frequency $\omega_0$.
