A battery connected to a capacity $20 \mu \mathrm{F}$ is charged to a potential of $35 \mathrm{~V}$. The battery is disconnected. A pure inductor coil of $200 \mathrm{mH}$ is connected across the capacitor so that LC oscillations are set up.The maximum current in the coil is

  • A
    $0.025 \mathrm{~A}$
  • B
    $0.25 \mathrm{~A}$
  • C
    $0.035 \mathrm{~A}$
  • Correct answer
    D
    0.35 A

Solution

Capacitance, $\mathrm{C}=20 \mu \mathrm{F}$ Voltage applied to capacitor, $\mathrm{V}=35$ volts Inductance connected to the capacitor, $\mathrm{L}=200 \mathrm{mH}$ To find: The maximum current in the inducting coil. The charge stored in the capacitor is given by: $\mathrm{Q}_0=\mathrm{CV}$ The maximum current flowing in the series LC circuit is: $I_{\text {max }}=Q_{\text {ow }}$ The frequency of a series LC circuit is given by: $\omega=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\mathrm{LC}}}$ Substitute the values in equation of maximum current. $\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow I_{\max }=(\mathrm{CV}) \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mathrm{LC}}}=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{C}}{\mathrm{L}}} \mathrm{V} \\ & \therefore \mathrm{I}_{\max }=\sqrt{\frac{20 \times 10^{-6}}{200 \times 10^{-3}}} \times 35=0.35 \mathrm{~A}\end{aligned}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
