Problem 4.98

In an oscillating circuit shown in Fig. 4.27 the coil inductance is equal to L=2.5mHL=2.5 \mathrm{mH} and the capacitor have capacitances C1=C_{1}= =2.0μF=2.0 \mu \mathrm{F} and C2=3.0μF.C_{2}=3.0 \mu \mathrm{F} . The capacitors were charged to a voltage V=180 V,V=180 \mathrm{~V}, and then the switch SwS w was closed. Find: (a) the natural oscillation frequency; (b) the peak value of the current flowing through the coil.

Reveal Answer
4.98. (a) T=2πL(C1+C2)=0.7 msT=2 \pi \sqrt{L\left(C_{1}+C_{2}\right)}=0.7 \mathrm{~ms} (b) Im=V(C1+C2)/L=8 AI_{m}=V \sqrt{\left(C_{1}+C_{2}\right) / L}=8 \mathrm{~A}
