LC Oscillations

A 1 μF1\,\mu\text{F} capacitor is charged to 50 V and is then discharged through 10 mH inductor of negligible resistance. The maximum current in the inductor is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Energy conservation: 12CV2=12LI02⇒I0=VCL\frac{1}{2}CV^2 = \frac{1}{2}LI_0^2 \Rightarrow I_0 = V\sqrt{\frac{C}{L}}
  2. I0=5010−610−2=50×10−2I_0 = 50\sqrt{\frac{10^{-6}}{10^{-2}}} = 50 \times 10^{-2}
  3. So the answer is (a) 0.5 A0.5\text{ A}.
