An RLC circuit, consisting of a resistor (R), inductor (L), and capacitor (C), demonstrates ringing behavior when the circuit is energized and then de-energized. On an oscilloscope, the voltages across the inductor and capacitor show oscillations that gradually decay due to resistance. These oscillations, or "ringing," result from the energy transfer between the magnetic field of the inductor and the electric field of the capacitor. The damping of the oscillations illustrates the impact of resistance on the circuit's transient response.
