LC Oscillations

A 40 μ40\ \muF capacitor is charged to 1010 volts of potential. The battery is disconnected, and a pure 100100 mH coil is connected across the capacitor so that LC oscillations are set up. Then, the maximum current in the coil is:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Energy conservation: 12CV2=12LImax2\frac{1}{2}CV^2 = \frac{1}{2}LI_{max}^2
  2. Imax=VCL=1040×10−60.1=10×0.02I_{max} = V\sqrt{\frac{C}{L}} = 10\sqrt{\frac{40\times10^{-6}}{0.1}} = 10\times 0.02
  3. Imax=0.20I_{max} = 0.20 A, so the answer is (d).
