Inductors i think it'll make an harmonic type of move

AI Thread Summary
Inductors can produce harmonic motion in an LC circuit when a fully charged capacitor discharges through them. The voltage drop across the capacitor and inductor follows Kirchhoff's voltage law, leading to oscillatory behavior described by the equation q(t)=Q*cos(ωt), where ω=(1/LC)^(1/2). This oscillation results from the inductor's ability to store and release energy, although producing harmonic motion is not its primary function. Understanding inductors and their role in circuits may require guidance from knowledgeable sources. Seeking expert help can clarify their applications and behavior in electronic systems.

as far as i know about inductors i think it'll make an harmonic type of move...
but it seems to make no sense
can anyone help?

Since you weren't very explicit as to what kind of circuit you are talking about, let's keep it simple: An LC circuit with a fully charged capacitor at t=0.

Now let the capacitor discharge through the inductor. What happens?

The voltage drop across the capacitor is EC=-q/C, and that across the inductor is EL=-L(di/dt)=-L(d2i/dt2). I will let q" (q-double-prime) denote the second time derivative of q from now on.

Kirchhoff's voltage law says that the sum of the voltages around a closed loop in a circuit must be zero. This is just the conservation of energy in disguse. So, we have:

EI+EC=0

or

q"+(1/LC)q=0

The solution to this equation, with q(0)=Q and i(0)=q'(0)=0, is

q(t)=Q*cos(ωt),

where ω=(1/LC)1/2.

As you can see, the oscillatory behavior of q(t) is due to the combined influences of the element laws and the conservation of energy.
 


Inductors are passive electronic components that store energy in the form of a magnetic field. They are commonly used in electronic circuits to control the flow of current and to filter out unwanted signals.

While it is true that inductors can produce a harmonic motion, this is not their primary function. The harmonic motion is a result of the inductor's ability to store energy and release it in a controlled manner.

If you are having trouble understanding inductors and their role in electronic circuits, it is best to seek help from a knowledgeable source such as a teacher or a professional in the field. They can provide you with a better understanding of inductors and how they work in specific applications.
 
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'
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...
