- The circuit shown in the figure contains an inductor \(L\), a capacitor \(C_0\), a resistor \(R_0\) and an ideal battery. The circuit also contains two keys \(\mathrm{K}_1\) and \(\mathrm{K}_2\). Initially, both the keys are open and there is no charge on the capacitor. At an instant, key \(K_1\) is closed and immediately after this the current in \(R_0\) is found to be \(I_1\). After a long time, the current attains a steady state value \(I_2\). Thereafter, \(\mathrm{K}_2\) is closed and simultaneously \(\mathrm{K}_1\) is opened and the voltage across \(C_0\) oscillates with amplitude \(V_0\) and angular frequency \(\omega_0\).

Match the quantities mentioned in List-I with their values in List-II and choose the correct option.
JEE Advanced 2024 Hard - Paragraph :
A thermally insulating cylinder has a thermally insulating and frictionless movable partition in the middle, as shown in the figure below. On each side of the partition, there is one mole of an ideal gas, with specific heat at constant volume, \(C_{V}=2 R\). Here, \(R\) is the gas constant. Initially, each side has a volume \(V_{0}\) and temperature \(T_{0}\). The left side has an electric heater, which is turned on at very low power to transfer heat \(Q\) to the gas on the left side. As a result the partition moves slowly towards the right reducing the right side volume to \(V_{0} / 2\). Consequently, the gas temperatures on the left and the right sides become \(T_{L}\) and \(T_{R}\), respectively. Ignore the changes in the temperatures of the cylinder, heater and the partition.
