(b) What fraction of a period must elapse following the time the capacitor is fully charged for this condition to occur?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The charge when the energy in the electric field is 50.0%of that in the magnetic field is 0.577Q.

b. The fraction of the period that must be elapsed following the time when the capacitor is fully charged is 0.152.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Given Information

Energy in the electric field is 50.0%of that in the magnetic field.

02

Determining the concept

Using the relation between the total energy, electrical energy in the capacitor, and magnetic energy in the inductor, find the charge when the energy in the electric field is 50.0%of that in the magnetic field. By using the equation of time-dependent charge on the capacitor, find the fraction of the period that must elapse following the time when the capacitor is fully charged.

The formula is as follows:

U=UE+UB

U=Q22C

q=QcosÓ¬t

Where, U is potential energy, Q, q is charges.

(a) Determining the charge when the energy in the electric field is 50.0% of that in the magnetic field

If UEis the electrical energy in the capacitor and UBis the magnetic energy in the inductor, then the total energy in the LCcircuit is given byU=UE+UB

According to the given condition in the problem,

At time UE=50100UB=12UB, i.e.UB=2UE

Therefore, the above equation becomes,

U=UE+2UE=3.00UE

To charge the capacitor at the time ,

UE=q22C

And the total energy is,

U=Q22C

AsU=3.00UE

Substituting the values of Uand UE,

Q22C=3.00q22Cq2=Q22C2C3.00q=Q3.00q=0.577Q

Therefore, the charge when the energy in the electric field is 50.0%of that in the magnetic field 0.577Q.

04

(b) Determining the fraction of the period that must be elapsed following the time when the capacitor is fully charged

The time-dependent charge on the capacitor is given by,

q=QcosÓ¬t

But for a fully charged capacitor,

q=0.577Q

Therefore,

role="math" localid="1663159650227" QcosÓ¬t=0.577QcosÓ¬t=0.577Ó¬t=0.955rad

But it is known,

Ó¬=2Ï€T

Therefore,

2Ï€tT=0.955tT=0.9552Ï€tT=0.152

Therefore, the fraction of the period elapsed following the time when the capacitor is fully charged is 0.152.

Find the charge when the energy in the electric field is of that in the magnetic field using the relation between the total energy, electrical energy in the capacitor, and magnetic energy in the inductor. Also, find the fraction of the period elapsed following the time when the capacitor is fully charged using the equation of time-dependent charge on the capacitor.
