A circuit contains a series combination of a switch, a resistor, a inductor, and a capacitor. Prior to time , the switch is open, the inductor is completely de-energized, and the capacitor is charged to . The switch then closes at .
The circuit undergoes damped oscillation with time period . What fraction of the energy originally stored in the capacitor has been dissipated in the resistor as heat when ? Give your answer as a number between and .
Note: Here, the notion of periodicity neglects the decaying envelope. Time periods are measured by counting waveform peaks of the same sign.
