Electric Oscillations

Problem 4.97

In an oscillating circuit consisting of a parallel-plate capacitor and an inductance coil with negligible active resistance the oscillations with energy \(W\) are sustained. The capacitor plates were slowly drawn apart to increase the oscillation frequency \eta-fold. What work was done in the process?

Reveal Answer
A=(η21)WA=\left(\eta^{2}-1\right) W
