    An $LCR$ circuit is equivalent to a damped pendulum. In an $LCR$ circuit the capacitor is charged to $Q_0$ and then connected to the $L$ and $R$ as shown below.

    If a student plots graphs of the square of maximum charge $( Q_{Max}  ^2 )$ on the capacitor with time$(t)$ for two different values $L_1$ and $L_2 (L_1 > L_2)$ of $L$ then which of the following represents this graph correctly? (plots are schematic and not drawn to scale)
