The discussion centers on calculating the maximum current through an inductor in a circuit involving two identical capacitors (A and B) and an inductor (L). The problem is approached using Kirchhoff’s loop rule and the equations for capacitors and inductors. The maximum current is derived from the initial conditions at time t₀, where the current is CE/√LC, and the subsequent behavior of the circuit is analyzed using the principles of simple harmonic motion (SHM). The participants emphasize the importance of correctly assigning charges and understanding the configuration of the capacitors in relation to the inductor.

Good point.. but then, for C1, 40*2=?randomgamernerd said:
i am so sorry, it will be 80 and I have written 60. I am so sorry...I have got the answer now...I have this exam in a week and i don't know what will happen if i do mistakes like this. Thank you sir for your patience and helping me out. And also for reminding me of this concept. Thank you so much.haruspex said:
There's no need to apologise to me. I made mistakes too on this one.randomgamernerd said:
