DAMPING TYPES


Damping:
It decreases the amplitude of an electrical or mechanical wave. This decrease is due to an energy absorbing mechanism or resistance circuit . A reduction in the amplitude of an oscillation or vibration as a result of energy being dissipated as heat.
The damping of the RLC circuit affects the way the voltage response reaches its final (or steady state) value.
1.when  R^2 > (4L/C) which means there are two real roots and relates to the case when the circuit is said to be over damped
2.when  R^2 <(4L/C) which means there are two complex roots (as root( -1) is imaginary) and relates to the case when the circuit is said to be under damped
3.when  R^2 = (4L/C) which means that the two roots of the equation are equal (i.e. there is only one root) and relates to the case when the circuit is said to be critical damped.
4.when  R=0  ,the circuit is said to be Un damped
