Maximum energy stored in the capacitor = 0.85 Joules

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The maximum energy stored in the capacitor of an L-C circuit with an inductance of 0.430 H and a capacitance of 0.240 F is calculated to be 0.85 Joules. The maximum current in the inductor during oscillations is 1.40 A. The energy conservation equation used is 1/2LI^2 + 1/2CV^2 = Constant, which applies under ideal conditions with zero resistance. This calculation is crucial for understanding energy transfer in oscillating circuits.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of L-C circuit dynamics
  • Familiarity with inductance and capacitance concepts

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 ><
