An L-C circuit consists of a 60.0mHinductor and a 250F capacitor. The initial charge on the capacitor is 6.00C, and the initial current in the inductor is zero. (a) What is the maximum voltage across the capacitor? (b) What is the maximum current in the inductor? (c) What is the maximum energy stored in the inductor? (d) When the current in the inductor has half its maximum value, what is the charge on the capacitor and what is the energy stored in the inductor?

Short Answer

Expert verified

A) The maximum voltage across the capacitor is 0.024V

B) The maximum current in the inductor is1.55×10-3A

C) The maximum energy stored in the inductor is7.21×10-8J

D)UL=1.80×10-8J,UC=q22C,q=5.20×10-6C

Step by step solution

01

Calculate the maximum voltage across the capacitor

The maximum voltage across the capacitor V is found when the charge is maximum on the plates of the capacitor. The voltage is related to the capacitance and charge of the capacitor in the formVmax=QC

Substitute the values we have,

Vmax=6×10-6C2.5×10-4F=0.024V

Therefore, the maximum voltage across the capacitor is0.024V

02

STEP 2 1 Calculate the maximum current in the inductor

To obey the conservation law of energy, the maximum current at the inductor flows when the energy is maximum in the coil. This energy comes from the fully discharged process of the capacitor

UL=UC12Li2max=Q22Cimax=QLC

Substitute the the values for Q, L and Cwe have,

imax=6×10-6C0.06H2.5×10-4F=1.55×10-3A

Therefore, the maximum current in the inductor is1.55×10-3A

03

Calculate the maximum energy stored in the inductor

The maximum energy is stored when the maximum current flows through the inductor and this energy is given byULmax=12Limax2Substitute the values we have

ULmax=120.06H1.55×10-3A2=7.21×10-8J

Therefore, the maximum energy stored in the inductor is7.21×10-8J

3 Calculate the current in the inductor, the charge on the capacitor and the energy stored in the inductor

When the current is half its value in the inductor, therefore, the energy in the inductor is one four the maximum energy isUL=14Umax=1.80×10-8J

The remaining energy will be stored in the capacitor. So, we can get the charge of the capacitor by

UC=34Umax=(3/4)Qmax22C=q22Cq=34Qmax=5.20×10-6C

ThereforeUL=1.80×10-8J,UC=q22C,q=5.20×10-6C
