Problem 4.117

A circuit consists of a capacitor with capacitance CC and a coil of inductance LL connected in series, as well as a switch and a resistance equal to the critical value for this circuit. With the switch disconnected, the capacitor was charged to a voltage V0,V_{0}, and at the moment t=0t=0 the switch was closed. Find the current II in the circuit as a function of time t.t . What is ImaxI_{\max } equal to?

Reveal Answer
 4.117. I=V0Ltet/LC;I=Imax=V0eCL at the moment tm=LC\begin{aligned} &\text { 4.117. } I=\frac{V_{0}}{L} t \mathrm{e}^{-t / \sqrt{L C} ;} I=I_{\max }=\frac{V_{0}}{\mathrm{e}} \sqrt{\frac{C}{L}} \text { at the moment }\\ &t_{m}=\sqrt{L C} \end{aligned}
