Ilustration 7: Oscillating Tank Circuit Animation

Animation illustrating the timing and sequence of the electron movements resulting in the charge/discharge of the capacitor, and a magnetic field creation and subsequent collapse by the induction coil in a resonant tuned circuit.

The oscillations are slowed down; in an actual tuned circuit the charge oscillates back and forth hundreds of thousands to billions of times per second.
