A 1.0 E -6 F capacitor charged to 10.0 micro C is connected to a 1.0 H inductor, prompting a discussion on comparing their potential energies at t = 10 seconds. Participants express uncertainty about the circuit configuration, questioning whether the inductor is in series or parallel with the capacitor. The relationship between potential energy, voltage, and capacitance is highlighted, with formulas provided for calculating voltage. The impact of circuit configuration on energy decay is also considered, noting that the decay constant may be swift. The conversation emphasizes the need for clarity on the circuit setup to accurately assess energy comparisons.
