Question:

In Section 30.5 Kirchhoff’s loop rule is applied to an L-C circuit where the capacitor is initially fully charged and the equation -L (di/dt) - (q/C) = 0 is derived. But as the capacitor starts to discharge, the current increases from zero. The equation says L di/dt = -q/C, so it says L di/dt is negative. Explain how L di/dt can be negative when the current is increasing.
