W sudy and formula h Lagrangian for h LC, RC, RL, and RLC circuis by using h analogy concp wih h mchanical problm in classical mchanics formulaions. W found ha h Lagrangian for h LC and RLC circuis ar govrnd by wo rms i.. kinic nrgy-lik and ponial nrgy-lik rms. Th Lagrangian for h RC circui is only a conribuion from h ponial nrgy-lik rm and h Lagrangian for h RL circui is only from h kinic nrgy-lik rm.. Inroducion Lagrangian formalism is a powrful way o obain h quaion of moion of a physical sysm. Th Lagrangian formalism is urnd up o solv problms ha ar no simpl by using Nwonian Mchanics []. In Nwonian mchanics, w usually formula h mchanical problm (physical sysm) in h form of forc or vcor. Manwhil, in Lagrangian mchanics, w approach h mchanical problm in h form of nrgy which is a scalar. If w know h Lagrangian of a physical sysm, hn w can obain h quaion of moion of a physical sysm by using h Eulr-Lagrang quaion []. In h lcrical subjc, h RLC (Rsisanc-Inducanc-Capacianc) circui is commonly discussd in sudn physics xbooks as an xampl of h applicaion of lcronics principls o build an lcronic dvic [3]. In h mahmaical physics subjc, h RLC circui is commonly usd o show h applicaion of diffrnial quaion in h physical sysm [4]. Th knowldg of RLC circui is crainly of gra physical inrs boh from xprimnal (applid) and horical sids. Rcnly, h RLC circui and is physical propris o b an inrsing rsarch subjc du o h dvlopmn of msoscopic physics and nanophysics ha nd a quanum mchanics bcaus h msoscopic sysm and nanophysics ar no anymor a macroscopic sysm. Th analysis of RLC circui as a msoscopic sysm by using quanum mchanics basd on Cardirola-Kanai Hamilonian and quanum invarian mhod o solv h Schrödingr quaion for h RLC circui and o obain h corrsponding wav funcions in rm of a paricular soluion of Miln- Pnny quaion was rpord by Pdrosa and Pinhiro [5]. Th quanum mchanics ramn of h RLC circui wih discr charg and smiclassical considraion can b found in Urras-Diaz [6] ha obaind h approximaion of nrgy ignvalus in rm of a dimnsionlss paramr L C h ( is h lcron charg, and h is h Planck consan). In liraur, w found mos analysis of h RC, RL, LC, and RLC circuis, as a msoscopic sysm or nanophysics, ar commonly discussd and formulad by using h concp of quanum mchanics [7-0]. As w hav alrady known ha h
nrgy opraor in quanum mchanics is h Hamilonian which is dfind as h sum of nrgy kinic and nrgy ponial of h physical sysm. In classical mchanics, w also know ha w can formula h physical sysm in form of Lagrangian dfind as h kinic nrgy minus ponial nrgy of h physical sysm. Thus, i is also an inrsing problm o know h xplici form of h Lagrangian for RC, LC, RL, and RLC circuis and is phnomnological implicaions. In his papr, w formula h Lagrangian for LC, RC, RL, and RLC circuis by using h analogy wih h classical mchanics formulaion for a physical sysm. W also discuss h advanags of h lagrangian formulaion of LC, RC, RL, and RLC circuis compar o h o lcrical formulaion as on can find in h mos of h sudn xbooks. W organizd his papr as follow: in scion w driv h Lagrangian for LC circui; in scion 3 w driv h Lagrangian formulaion for h RC circui; in scion 4, w formula h lagrangian for RL circui; in scion 5 w driv h Lagrangian for RLC circui. Finally, in scion 6 w wri h conclusions.. Lagrangian for h LC Circui In his scion, w formula h Lagrangian for h LC circui. W bgin wih by wriing h diffrnial quaion of Kirchhoff s rul for LC circui wihou sourc as follow d q q 0. () d LC By analogy wih h harmonic oscillaor, w can pu h angular frquncy rgarding L and C as follow. () LC As w know from h mahmaical physics, h gnral soluion of Eq. () is givn by i -i q( ) k k (3) whr w can drmin h consans k and k from h appropria boundary valus. Mahmaically, hr is wo possibl iniial condiions for h capacior C. Firs, a im = 0 h capacior has zro chargs: q(0) = 0 and a im = h charg of h capacior rach a maximum valu ha is Q and his procss is known as charging procss. Scond, a im = 0 i is possibl ha h capacior C has iniial charg Q 0 and a im = h capacior has no charg which is known as discharging a capacior. If w pu h h iniial condiion q(0) = 0 ino Eq. (3), hn w hav 0 0 q(0) 0 k k (4) ha implis k k (5) By insring Eq. (5) ino Eq. (3), w obain i i q( ) k( ). (6) If w us Eulr s quaion, hn Eq. (6) rads q( ) ik sin( ). (7) I is clar from Eq. (7) ha h charg as a sin funcion. Th soluion of h diffrnial quaion of Eq. () wih h iniial condiion q(0) = 0 is no rlvan o h physical raliy alhough i is possibl from h mahmaics poin of viw. Thrfor w discard h charging procss wih h soluion in h form of sin funcion. If w pu h iniial condiion q(0) Q0 k k for discharging procss ino Eq. (3), hn w hav k Q0 k. (8) By insring h Eq. (8) ino h Eq. (3) and afr doing a lil algbra, h Eq. (3) bcom -i q( ) Q0 iksin( ). (9) Th scond rm of Eq. (9) dos no saisfy h iniial condiion ha = q = 0, so w drop h scond rm of Eq. (9) and finally, w hav h soluion for discharging capacior in h LC circui as follow

Th ponial nrgy for h LC circui is givn by V ( q) q. C () By analogy wih h ponial nrgy of harmonic oscillaor, w can pu h corrsponding paramrs as follow m L, x q, k. C () By insring Eq. (0) ino Eq. (), hn w find h ponial nrgy of h LC circui as follow i VLC Q0, C (3) and h kinic nrgy of oscillaor harmonic sysm is Tho mx. (4) By using h analogy in Eq. () and ak drivaiv of Eq.

(8), and using h valus of q = Q 0 a im = 0 and q = q a im =, hn w obain / q( ) Q0 RC. (9) which is rlvan o h physical procss as prviously sad. I is clar ha hr is no kinic nrgy rm for h RC circui. Th ponial nrgy in h RC circui as follows / RC VRC Q0. (0) C Bcaus hr is no kinic nrgy in h RC circui, hn h Lagrangian of RC circui as follows / RC LRC Q0. () C
4. Lagrangian for h RL Circui Th diffrnial quaion for h RL circui is givn by di L RI 0 d. () Th soluion of h Eq. () rad / I( ) I0 R L. (3) For h RL circui, w can mak an analogy wih h quaion of moion of a paricl wih h forc is vlociy dpndn as follow dv m kv 0, (4) d By puing L corrspond o mass m and h rsisanc R corrspond o fricion consan k, hn w can pu h currn I in Eq.

To formula h kinic nrgy of h RL circui, w us h analogy concp by using h usual mchanical kinic nrgy ½ mv and lcric currn I corrspond wih vlociy v, and hn w hav R / L TRL LI0 (5) as h kinic nrgy rm for RL circui. For h RL circui, hr is no ponial nrgy rm. Thus, h lagrangian for h RL circui rad R / L LRL LI0. (6) 5.

Th gnral soluion of Eq. (7) as follows ( ) ( ) q( ) C C (9) whr 0. (30) Thr ar hr possibl cass for h paramr i.. ovrdamping, criical damping and undrdamping. 5. Ovrdamping Ovrdamping will occur whn λ > 0 so h xponns in h firs and scond rm in Eq. (9) ar ral. If w insr h discharging capacior boundary condiion ino Eq.

As shown in [6], h Eq (9) bcoms q( ) C C. (34) By insring h discharging capacior boundary condiion hn Eq (34) bcoms q( ) Q0 (35) and by using h sam procdur as prviously, w find h Lagrangian for h criical damping RLC circui as follow R / L R R / L Q0 LRLCcri Q0, (36) 8 L C which is composd of wo rms i.. nrgy kinic lik and ponial nrgy-lik. 5.3 Undrdamping Th RLC circui will undrgo h undrdamping whn λ < 0, and h gnral soluion for h cas of undrdamping RLC circui can b rad in [6] q( ) Acos( d 0) (37) whr R 0.

(33), (36), and (40) ha h Lagrangians for h RLC circui ar h sum of h kinic nrgy-lik and ponial nrgy-lik as wll as on can find in classical mchanics. I can b sad ha h Lagrangian rms of h RLC circui indpndn of h valu of λ qualiaivly. 6. Conclusions W hav sudid and valuad h Lagrangian for LC, RC, LR, and RLC circuis by using h analogy wih h classical mchanics concp o formula h lagrangian of a physical sysm. W find ha h lagrangian for LC and RLC circuis ar composd of rms ha can b assignd as kinic nrgy and ponial nrgy rms in corrsponding wih h Lagrangian of a physical sysm in classical mchanics. Manwhil, h Lagrangian for h RC circui is only from ponial nrgy-lik conribuion and h and h lagrangian for h LR circui is only kinic nrgy-lik conribuion. W
