Experiments show that the discharge of a condenser is an oscillation, the charge going first in one direction and then in the other. This is analogous to what will take place in a U-tube, such as is shown in Fig. 1, if it is filled with water in the two arms to the points A and B. If now the clamp at C is suddenly opened, the water will flow from the left side to the right, and instead of stopping at the level line xy will pass on to D and E. The same thing now takes place in the opposite direction, and so continues alternating until the water finally comes to rest at the level xy.
