Capitolo 30, Problema 72

An electric oscillator is made with a 0.10 μF capacitor and a 1.0 mH inductor. The capacitor is initially charged to 5.0 V. What is the maximum current through the inductor as the circuit oscillates?

Step 1: Recognize that the system described is an LC circuit, which oscillates energy between the capacitor and the inductor. The total energy in the system remains constant and is given by the formula for the energy stored in a capacitor: Etotal = 12CV2, where C is the capacitance and V is the initial voltage across the capacitor.
Step 2: Write the expression for the maximum current in the inductor. At the point of maximum current, all the energy in the circuit is stored in the inductor as magnetic energy. The energy stored in the inductor is given by: Einductor = 12LI2, where L is the inductance and I is the maximum current.
Step 3: Equate the total energy in the capacitor to the energy in the inductor at maximum current, since energy is conserved in the LC circuit. This gives: 12CV2 = 12LI2.
Step 4: Solve for the maximum current I. Rearrange the equation to isolate I: I = CLV. Substitute the given values for C = 0.10 \, \(\text{μF}\) = 0.10 \, imes \, 10^{-6} \, \(\text{F}\), L = 1.0 \, \(\text{mH}\) = 1.0 \, imes \, 10^{-3} \, \(\text{H}\), and V = 5.0 \, \(\text{V}\).
Step 5: Perform the substitution and simplify the expression for I. This will yield the maximum current through the inductor. Ensure that the units are consistent when performing the calculation.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Capacitance

Capacitance is the ability of a capacitor to store charge per unit voltage, measured in farads (F). In this case, the 0.10 μF capacitor can store a certain amount of electrical energy when charged to a voltage of 5.0 V. The stored energy can be released into the circuit, influencing the oscillation of the electric oscillator.

Inductance

Inductance is a property of an inductor that quantifies its ability to store energy in a magnetic field when an electric current flows through it, measured in henries (H). The 1.0 mH inductor in the circuit will oppose changes in current, contributing to the oscillatory behavior of the circuit as energy transfers between the capacitor and the inductor.

Resonance in LC Circuits

Resonance in LC circuits occurs when the inductive and capacitive reactances are equal, allowing for maximum energy transfer and oscillation. The maximum current through the inductor can be calculated using the formula derived from the energy stored in the capacitor, which is converted to magnetic energy in the inductor during oscillation, leading to a peak current at resonance.
