A measure of the rate of decrease of amplitude in a damped oscillation. 1, record 1, English, - damping%20coefficient
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
It is equal to the ratio of one amplitude to the next in the same direction. It is also equal to the logarithmic decrement divided by the periodic time of the oscillation. In an electrical resonant circuit the damping coefficient is related to the circuit constants, being given by R/2L where R is the series resistance in the circuit and L is the inductance. 1, record 1, English, - damping%20coefficient
