Electric Oscillations

Problem 4.100

An oscillating circuit consists of an inductance coil LL and a capacitor with capacitance C.C . The resistance of the coil and the lead wires is negligible. The coil is placed in a permanent magnetic field so that the total flux passing through all the turns of the coil is equa] to \Phi. At the moment t=0t=0 the magnetic field was switched off. Assuming the switching off time to be negligible compared to the natural oscillation period of the circuit, find the circuit current as a function of time tt.

I=ΦLcos(t/LC)I=\frac{\Phi}{L} \cos (t / \sqrt{L C})
