Maximum energy stored in the capacitor = 0.85 Joules

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the maximum energy stored in a capacitor within an L-C circuit with given inductance and capacitance values. The relevant formula used is 1/2LI^2 + 1/2CV^2 = Constant, which relates the energy in the inductor and capacitor. The maximum current in the inductor is provided as 1.40 A, which is essential for determining the energy. The user acknowledges a mistake in using the wrong unit for inductance but is focused on solving the problem. The maximum energy stored in the capacitor is ultimately calculated to be 0.85 Joules.

Homework Statement


An L-C circuit has an inductance of 0.430 and a capacitance of 0.240 . During the current oscillations, the maximum current in the inductor is 1.40 .

What is the maximum energy stored in the capacitor at any time during the current oscillations?
Express your answer in joules.


Homework Equations


v=ir
e=ir ideal
1/2LI^2 +1/2CV^2 = Constant


The Attempt at a Solution



1/2LI^2 +1/2CV^2 = Constant
allowing v to be i in ideal zero resistance tho not stated ><

sorry about that folks had a brain fart was using nf instead of H :)
 

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...
