Abstract :
It is shown here that the number of degrees of freedom, or what is equivalent-the number of natural frequencies-of any RLC network can readily be determined from the number of energy-storing elements and the topology of the network. The effect of loss (resistance) in altering the number of degrees of freedom is explained.
