Homework Statement



I have to find the normal frequencies of a coupled LC circuit. However, this LC circuit is coupled by an inductor, not a capacitor.
__|C|________|C|__
|...|...|
^I(1)...|...^I(2)
|...|...|
{L}...{L'}...{L}
|...|...|
|...|...|
--------------------

I'm sorry, I didn't have a picture but that's basically the circuit.

Homework Equations



I1+I2=0
I=dq/dt

These equations are for an LC circuit coupled by a capacitor:
L(d2q1/dt2)+(1/C)q1+(1/C')(q1+q2)=0

L(d2q2/dt2)+(1/C)q2+(1/C')(q1+q2)=0

The Attempt at a Solution



The only attempt I could figure out that it would be similar to that of a circuit coupled by a capacitor. I don't know if I'm on the right track or not and if I am I'm not sure how to modify the two equations.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I1 + I2 = 0 is no longer correct. Current flows through the inductor.
 
I see an L' in your image but not in your equations. Conversely I see a C' in your equations but not in your image.
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
