Electro Magnetic Induction And Alternating Currents Question 203

Question: A fully charged capacitor C with initial charge $ q_{0} $ is connected to a coil of self-inductance L at $ t=0. $ The time at which the energy is stored equally between the electric and the magnetic fields is:

Options:

A) $ \frac{\pi }{4}\sqrt{LC} $

B) $ 2\pi \sqrt{LC} $

C) $ \sqrt{LC} $

D) $ \pi \sqrt{LC} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • Energy stored in magnetic field = $ \frac{1}{2},Li^{2} $

    Energy stored in electric field = $ \frac{1}{2},\frac{q^{2}}{C} $
    $ \therefore \frac{1}{2},Li^{2}=\frac{1}{2},\frac{q^{2}}{C} $

    Also $ q=q_{0} $ cos $ \omega ,t $ and $ \omega =\frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}} $

    On solving $ t=\frac{\pi }{4},\sqrt{LC} $
