Abstract
A unitary transformation obtained from group theoretical considerations is applied to the problem of
finding the resonant frequencies of a system of coupled LC-circuits. This transformation was previously derived to
separate the equations of motion for one dimensional mechanical lattices. Computations are performed in matrix
notation. The electrical system is an analog of a pair of coupled linear lattices. After the resonant frequencies have
been found, comparisons between the electrical and mechanical systems are noted.
