The equations of motion of one-dimensional crystals consisting of molecules and atoms are expressed as the difference equations of their displacements. We demonstrate that the electrically equivalent circuit of such crystals with a periodic structure is given by an LC ladder circuit. LC circuits are reciprocal and lossless. The iterative parameters of LC ladder circuits can be obtained by determining the eigen-values of the cascade matrix of the circuits, enabling the determination of complex impedance. According to this analogy, it is necessary to take into account the complex power for one-dimensional crystals, which are generally analyzed using real functions. Although the time integral of the complex power is generally considered to represent energy, only the active power is related to the energy. That is, two complex functions, those for voltage and current, are required to analyze one-dimensional crystals, similarly to electromagnetic wave circuits.
