A capacitor C is first charged fully with potential difference of V_0 and disconnected from the battery. The charged capacitor is connected across an inductor having inductance L. In t text s 25% of the initial energy in the capacitor is transferred to the inductor. The value of t is ________ s.

Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula For LC oscillations, charge varies as: Q(t) = Q_0 cos(omega t) Where omega = frac1sqrtLC Energy in capacitor: U_C = fracQ^22C ### Core Logic Since 25% of the initial energy is transferred to the inductor, the remaining energy in the capacitor is 75% of its initial value. U_C_f = 75\% text of U_C_i fracQ_f^22C = frac34 times fracQ_0^22C Q_f^2 = frac34 Q_0^2 Q_f = fracsqrt32 Q_0 ### Step 1: Finding Time Using the equation for charge variation: Q_0 cos(omega t) = fracsqrt32 Q_0 cos(omega t) = fracsqrt32 omega t = fracpi6 ### Step 2: Final Conclusion Substitute omega = frac1sqrtLC: frac1sqrtLC t = fracpi6 t = fracpi sqrtLC6 ### Pattern Recognition Energy is proportional to charge squared. 75\% energy remaining means charge is sqrt0.75 = fracsqrt32 of the original. Cosine of pi/6 yields this exact ratio. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Physics: Electromagnetic Induction Class 12 Physics: Alternating Current
