Finding Max and Min in Oscillating LRC Circuit

AI Thread Summary
In an oscillating LC circuit with inductance L = 3.00 mg and capacitance C = 2.70 * 10^-6, the maximum charge on the capacitor can be calculated using the formula Q_m = C * U_m. The discussion highlights the initial conditions where the charge is zero and the current is 2.00 A, prompting questions about the maximum charge, the earliest time for maximum energy storage, and the greatest rate. Participants express confusion about the concepts but receive guidance that simplifies the problem-solving process. Ultimately, the assistance provided leads to a successful resolution of the circuit analysis.

In an oscillating LC circuit L = 3.00 mg and C = 2.70 * 10^-6. At t=0 the charge on the capacitor is zero and the current is 2.00 Am.

What is the maximum charge that will appear on the capacitor?
The earliest time where energy stored in the capacitor is the greatest?
What is the greatest rate?

Our teacher just barely touched upon finding the max and the mins in the oscillating of a LRC circuit. I haven't a clue even where to start. Could i get some help setting up the problem?

thanks a bunch. it was much easier than i thought. i finished the rest of the problem with ease. thank you!
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
