In an LCcircuit, L= 85.0 mH and C= 3.20 mF. During the oscillations the maximum current in the inductor is 0.850 mA. What is the magnitude of the charge on the capacitor at an instant when the current in the inductor has magnitude 0.500 mA?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The magnitude of the charge on the capacitor at an instant when the current in the inductor has magnitude 0.500 mA is 3.58×10-7C.

Step by step solution

01

Energy conservation in LC circuit

The stored energy in capacitor in addition to the stored energy in inductor at any instant equals to the maximum stored energy in the capacitor.

Mathematically it can be given by

UL+UC=UCmax12Li+q22C=Q22C

Where , Ucmaxis the maximum energy stored in capacitor and ULand UCare the energy stored in inductor and capacitor respectively.

02

Calculation of maximum charge on the capacitor in LC circuit

Using

12Li+q22C=Q22C

For maximum current in LC circuit stored charge on capacitor must be zero .

So,

12Liimax2=Q22CQ=imaxLC

Put the values of constants in above equation

Q=0.850×10-3A0.085H×3.20×10-6FQ=4.43×10-7C

Thus, the maximum charge on the capacitor is 4.43×10-7C

03

Calculation of the magnitude of the charge on the capacitor

Using,

12Li+q22C=Q22C

q=Q2-LCi2

Put the values of constants in above equation

q=4.43×10-7C2-0.085H×3.20×10-6×5.00×10-42q=3.58×10-7C

Thus, the magnitude of the charge on the capacitor at an instant when the current in the inductor has magnitude 0.500 mA is 3.58×10-7C.

(See Discussion Question Q25.14.) An ideal ammeter A is placed in a circuit with a battery and a light bulb as shown in Fig. Q25.15a, and the ammeter reading is noted. The circuit is then reconnected as in Fig. Q25.15b, so that the positions of the ammeter and light bulb are reversed. (a) How does the ammeter reading in the situation shown in Fig. Q25.15a compare to the reading in the situation shown in Fig. Q25.15b? Explain your reasoning. (b) In which situation does the light bulb glow more brightly? Explain your reasoning.

A heart defibrillator is used to enable the heart to start beating if it has stopped. This is done by passing a large current of12Athrough the body at25Vfor a very short time, usually3.0msabout . (a) What power does the defibrillator deliver to the body, and (b) how much energy is transferred ?

A beam of protons traveling at 1.20 km/s enters a uniform magnetic field, traveling perpendicular to the field. The beam exits the magnetic field, leaving the field in a direction pependicurlar to its original direction (Fig. E27.24). The beam travels a distance of 1.10 cm while in the field. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field?


An electron at pointAinFig. E27.15has a speedv0of1.41×106m/sFind (a) the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field that will cause the electron to follow the semicircular path fromAtoB, and (b) the time required for the electron to move fromAtoB.

In Europe the standard voltage in homes is 220 V instead of the 120 used in the United States. Therefore a “100-W” European bulb would be intended for use with a 220-V potential difference (see Problem 25.36). (a) If you bring a “100-W” European bulb home to the United States, what should be its U.S. power rating? (b) How much current will the 100-W European bulb draw in normal use in the United States?
