B) The time taken to complete current oscillation is 0.0142s

C) The charge on the capacitor is9.75×10-7C

Step by step solution

01

Concept of the charge over the capacitor

The charge over the capacitor is given by equation q=Ae-(R/2L)tcos(1LC-R24L2t+ϕ)at t =0 the charge is the maximum, that is,q(t-0)=Q which can be written asQ=Ae0cos(0+ϕ)=Acos(ϕ)

02

Calculate the time taken to complete current oscillation

In the equation Q=Ae0cos(0+ϕ)=Acos(ϕ), RHS is maximum only whencosϕ=1so,A=Qand ϕ=0,

The angular frequency is given as ϖ=1LC-R24L2.At the need of the oscillationϖt=2π So, 2π=1LC-R24L2t. Substitute the values in the equationrole="math" localid="1664178436894" t=2π1LC-R24L2

t=2π10.400×7.00-320240.4002=0.0142s

Therefore, the time taken to complete current oscillation is 0.0142s

03

Calculate the charge on the capacitor after the first complete current oscillation

At the end of the first oscillation, the cosine term is 1, sinceϕ=1and role="math" localid="1664178711109" ϖt=2π.So,q=Qe-R/2Lt

Now substitute with t =0.0142 s and the givens to get q

role="math" localid="1664178926937" q=2.18×10-4Ce-320Ω0.0142s0.400H=9.75×10-7C

Therefore, the charge on the capacitor is9.75×10-7C

Question: A conducting sphere is placed between two charged parallel plates such as those shown in Figure. Does the electric field inside the sphere depend on precisely where between the plates the sphere is placed? What about the electric potential inside the sphere? Do the answers to these questions depend on whether or not there is a net charge on the sphere? Explain your reasoning.
