SUMMARY
In an LC circuit with an initial charge (Q0) of 18 C and current (I) of 0, the equilibrium charge on the capacitor occurs when the energy is equally distributed between the inductor and the capacitor. The potential drop equation around the circuit must be established to analyze the energy distribution. At the moment of equilibrium, the charge on the capacitor is calculated to be 9 C, as this represents half of the initial charge when energy is shared equally.
