A circuit is constructed with a resistor, two inductors, one capacitor, one battery and a switch as shown. The value of the resistance is R1 = 344 . The values for the inductances are: L1 = 276 mH and L2 = 126 mH. The capacitance is C = 129 F and the battery voltage is V = 12 V. The positive terminal of the battery is indicated with a + sign.

1)

The switch has been closed for a long time when at time t = 0, the switch is opened. What is UL1(0), the magnitude of the energy stored in inductor L1 just after the switch is opened?

J

2)

What is o, the resonant frequency of the circuit just after the switch is opened?

radians/s

3)

What is Qmax, the magnitude of the maximum charge on the capacitor after the switch is opened?

C

4)

What is Q(t1), the charge on the capacitor at time t = t1 = 3.1 ms. Q(t1) is defined to be positive if V(a) – V(b) is positive.

C

5)

What is t2, the first time after the switch is opened that the energy stored in the capacitor is a maximum?

ms

6)

What is the total energy stored in the inductors plus the capacitor at time t = t2?

J

Explanation / Answer

1.

Current

I=V/R =12/344 =0.03488 A

UL1(0)=(1/2)L1I2=(1/2)*0.276*0.034882=1.68*10-4 J

2.

Resonant frequendy

Wo=1/sqrt(LeqC)=1/sqrt[(0.276+0.126)*(129*10-6)]

Wo=138.864 rad/sec

3.

UL=UC

(1/2)LeqI2=(1/2)(Qmax2/C)

Qmax=sqrt(LeqCI2)=sqrt[(0.276+0.126)(129*10-6)*0.034882]

Qmax=251.2 uC

d)

Q=Qmax sin(Wt)

Q=(251.2)sin(138.864*0.0031)=104.83 uC

e)

Q=Qmax

=>Qmax =Qmax sin(138.864t)

pi/2 =138.864t

t=11.31 ms

f)

U=(1/2)(251.2*10-6)2/(129*10-6)

U=2.4457*10-4 J
