An ideal capacitor of capacitance 0.2μF0 .2 \mu F is charged to a potential difference of 10V10V. The charging battery is then disconnected. The capacitor is then connected to an ideal inductor of self inductance 0.5mH0 . 5mH. The current at a time when the potential difference across the capacitor is 5V5V is:

Options

  1. A0.15A0 . 15A
  2. B0.17A0 . 17A
  3. C0.34A0 . 34A
  4. D0.25A0 . 25A

Correct answer

B. 0.17A0 . 17A

Step-by-step solution

The energy stored in the capacitor is given by, Uc=12CV2{U}_{c} = \dfrac{1}{2}C{V}^{2}. The energy stored in the inductor is given by. UL=12LI2{U}_{L} = \dfrac{1}{2}L{I}^{2}. In LCLC circuit there is no loss of energy in the form of heat so, using energy conservation, Uci+ULi=Ucf+ULf{U}_{ci} + {U}_{Li} = {U}_{cf} + {U}_{Lf}

⇒12×0.2×10−6×102+0=12×0.2×10−6×52+12×0.5×10−3I2⇒ \dfrac{1}{2} \times 0.2 \times {10}^{- 6} \times {10}^{2} + 0 = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 0.2 \times {10}^{- 6} \times {5}^{2} + \dfrac{1}{2} \times 0.5 \times {10}^{- 3}{I}^{2}
I=3×10−1A=0.17AI = \sqrt{3} \times {10}^{- 1}A = 0 .17 A
