A description is given of a lecture demonstration of energy level splitting in the hydrogen molecule. The demonstration is based on the electrical analogue of two coupled resonant circuits. Coupling occurs by mutual inductance. The relevant differential equations describing the hydrogen atom and the tuned circuits are also presented.
