A 500 nF capacitor is initially connected to a 100 V DC voltage source. At some long time later, the switch is flipped and the capacitor is now connected to a 120 mH inductor.
a) What is the frequency of oscillation in the circuit after the switch is flipped.
b) After the switch is filpped, what would the peak current value be?
c) What is the maximum possible value for the energy stored in the inductor?
d) The energy in an LC circuit oscillates between the inductor and the capacitor. What is the charge on the capacitor when the energy in the inductor is half of its maximum value?
e) The energy in an LC circuit oscillates between the capacitor and the inductor. If I is initially zero when the switch is flipped (t = 0) how much time has elapsed before the energy in the inductor is half of its maximum.
