Energy Transfer

1. Capacitor stores all energy in its electric field

2. Capacitor discharges, increasing current $I$

3. Inductor stores all energy in its magnetic field

4. Capacitor charges, decreasing current $I$

5. Capacitor stores all energy in its electric field (Polarity reversed)

6. Capacitor discharges, increasing current $I$

7. This oscillation continues unless damped
