Solve Freq of Coupled LC Circuit with Inductor

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on determining the normal frequencies of a coupled LC circuit where the coupling is achieved through an inductor instead of a capacitor. The participant references key equations for a standard LC circuit but recognizes the need to modify them for the inductor coupling scenario. Specifically, the equations involving currents I1 and I2 require adjustment, as the current flow through the inductor alters the dynamics of the circuit. The participant expresses uncertainty about the correct formulation of the equations and the role of the inductors L and L' in the analysis.

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)

--------------------

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.
