Working of Oscillator:
- An oscillator is a circuit which produces a continuous, repeated, alternating waveform without any input. Oscillator basically convert unidirectional current flow from a DC sources into an alternating waveform which is of the desired frequency, as decided by its circuit components.
- One of the most commonly used oscillator is the pendulum of a clock. If you push on a pendulum to starts it swinging, it will oscillate at some frequency- it will swing back and forth a certain number of times per second.
- The length of the pendulum is the main things that control the frequency. It is to oscillate, energy needs to move back and froth between two forms.
- When the pendulum is at one end of its travel, its energy is all potential energy and it is ready to fall.
- When the pendulum is in the middle of its cycle, all of its potential energy turns into kinetic energy and the pendulum moving as fast as it can.
- This movement of energy between the two forms is causes of oscillation.
- Eventually, any physical oscillator stops moving because of friction. The pendulum gets a little push on each stroke to make up for the energy it loses to friction.
