Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(18 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{C}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The charge is a function of time \((t)\), is given by
\(q=q_{0} \sin \omega t...(i)\)
where, \(q_{0}=\) maximum charge,
and \(\omega=\) angular frequency.
Differentiating Eq. (i), we get
\(I=\frac{d q}{d t}=\frac{d}{d t}\left(q_{0} \sin \omega t\right)=\omega q_{0} \cos \omega t\)
At, \(\quad t=0\),
\(I =\omega q_{0} \cos (0)=\omega q_{0} \)
\( \therefore I =\frac{1}{\sqrt{L C}} q_{0} \text { or } q_{0}=I \sqrt{L C} \left[\because \omega=\frac{1}{\sqrt{L C}}\right] \)
\( =2 \sqrt{3 \times 2.7 \times 10^{-6}} \)
\( =18 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{C}\)
