In an oscillating \(L C\) circuit, the maximum charge on the capacitor is \(Q\). The charge on the capacitor when the energy is stored equally between the electric and magnetic fields is

  1. A \(\frac{Q}{2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{Q}{\sqrt{3}}\)
  3. C \(Q\)
  4. D \(\frac{Q}{\sqrt{2}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{Q}{\sqrt{2}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, in an oscillating \(L C\) circuit, maximum charge on the capacitor \(=Q\) We know that, total energy stored in the capacitor, \(U=\frac{1}{2} \frac{Q^2}{C}\) \(\therefore\) Energy is equally distributed in a electric field and magnetic field, so the energy stored in the…
