Hi George!

Whether you can describe physical principles of operation of the RC-oscillator
(capacitance-resistance oscillator) from a point of view of a resonance?


Although a capacitor stores energy an RC circuit is not a
resonant system. The voltage and current in an RC circuit
decay exponentially and have no natural oscillation. The
differential equation is first order while resonance
requires second order.


However, an LC circuit can be a resonant system. [inductor-capacitor]
No "waves" are involved in an LC circuit.
