If a fully charged capacitor C with initial chargeq0is connected to a coil of self inductanceL at t=0. The time at which the energy is stored equally between the electric field and magnetic field is

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

InLCoscillation, energy is transferredC to L or L to C, maximum energy inL is12LImax2

Maximum energy inC isqmax22C

Energy will be equal when,

12LI2=1212LImax2⇒I=Imax2

I=Imaxsin⁡ωt=12Imax

ωt=π4⇒2πT t=π4⇒t=T8

t=182πLC=π4LC

⇒   t=π4LC
