Question

show steps please!

An LC circuit consists of a C=46microFarad capacitor and L=O.3Henry inductor connected in a simple loop with zero resistance and no battery. The capacitor and inductor store a compined total energy of U=6OmicroJoules. (a) If all the circuits energy is stored in the capacitor at time t = O, when is the soonest time that all the energy will be stored in the inductor? ms (b) How much charge is stored on one side of the capacitor at t = O? microCoulombs. (c) How much current flows through the inductor at the time you found in (a)? mA (d) If the inductor is a cylindrical solenoid of length I= 8 centimeters and radius r=2.9centimeters, find the number of coils in the solenoid. coils (e) What is the maximum magnetic field inside the inductor? mT (f) If the maximum electric field in the capacitor is E=O.6x1O^3 N/C and the space between the plates if filled with a dielectric of constant 100,000, what is the separation between the plates? mm (g) What is the area of one of the plates? Cm^2

Explanation / Answer

a)

frequecny

f=1/2pi*sqrt(LC) =1/2pi*sqrt(0.3*46*10-6) =42.84 Hz

T=1/f =0.02334 seconds

the time that all the energy will be stored in inductor is

t=T/4 =5.84 ms

b)

Energy stored in capacitor is

U=(1/2)(Q2/C)

=>Q=sqrt[2UC]=sqrt[2*60*10-6*46*10-6]

Q=74.3 uC

c)

Energy stored in inductor is

U=(1/2)LImax2

=>Imax=sqrt[2*U/L]=sqrt[2*60*10-6/0.3]

Imax=20 mA

d)

Area

A=pi*r2=pi*0.0292=2.64*10-3 m2

Inductance of a solenoid is

L=uoN2A/l

=>N=sqrt[L*l/uo*A]=sqrt[0.3*0.08/4pi*10-7*2.64*10-3]

N=2689 turns

e)

magnetic field of a solenoid is

B=uo*N*I/L =(4pi*10-7)*2689*0.02/0.08

B=0.845 mT

f)

U=(1/2)CV2

=>V=sqrt[2U/C]=sqrt[2*60*10-6/46*10-6]

V=1.615 Volts

so

d=V/E =1.615/600

d=2.69 mm

g)

Capacitance

C=KeoA/d

=>A=C*d/(K*eo)=(46*10-6)(2.69*10-3)/(100,000*8.85*10-12)

A=1399.2 cm2
