Math Problem Statement
- If an LC circuit with an inductor of inductance L = 1 Henry and a capacitator of capacitance C = 0.1F has an applied voltage of V(t) = 2.0cos(10.1t) and initially there is no charge on the capacitor and no current flowing
a.) find the charge Q(t) on the capacitator for t>0.
b.) use the trigonometric identity
cos(a)-cos(b) = 2 sin (a+b/2)sin(b-a/2)
to write Q(t) as a product of sine waves and find the average frequency and the frequency beats.
c.) sketch a graph of Q(t).
Solution
Here is the graph of over time, which shows the charge on the capacitor for in the LC circuit. The behavior is characterized by a sinusoidal pattern with frequency beats, as derived.
Would you like further details on any part of this solution, or do you have specific questions?
Here are five related questions for further exploration:
- How would changing the inductance or capacitance affect the oscillation frequency of ?
- What would happen to if the applied voltage frequency matched the natural frequency of the circuit?
- How is the average frequency of connected to the LC circuit's resonance?
- How would damping, if present, alter the behavior of in this circuit?
- How do the initial conditions affect the solution for in an LC circuit?
Tip: For LC circuits, resonance occurs when the driving frequency matches the natural frequency, resulting in maximum amplitude in steady-state conditions.
