Respuesta :

Answer:

a) the required time is 0.6283 μs

b) the inductor current is 0.5 mA

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

The capacitor voltage has its maximum value of 25 V at t = 0

i.e V[tex]_m[/tex] = V₀ = 25 V

we determine the angular velocity;

ω = 1 / √( LC )

ω = 1 / √( ( 20 × 10⁻³ H ) × ( 8.0 × 10⁻¹² F) )

ω = 1 / √( 1.6 × 10⁻¹³  )

ω = 1 / 0.0000004

ω = 2.5 × 10⁶ s⁻¹

a) How much time does it take until the capacitor is fully discharged for the first time?

V[tex]_m[/tex] =  V₀sin( ωt )

we substitute

25V =  25V × sin( 2.5 × 10⁶ s⁻¹ × t )

25V =  25V × sin( 2.5 × 10⁶ s⁻¹ × t )

divide both sides by 25 V

sin( 2.5 × 10⁶ × t ) = 1

( 2.5 × 10⁶ × t ) = π/2

t = 1.570796 / (2.5 × 10⁶)

t = 0.6283 × 10⁻⁶ s

t = 0.6283 μs

Therefore, the required time is 0.6283 μs

b) What is the inductor current at that time?

[tex]I[/tex](t) = V₀√(C/L) sin(ωt)

{ sin(ωt) = 1 )

[tex]I[/tex](t) = V₀√(C/L)

we substitute

[tex]I[/tex](t) = 25V × √( ( 8.0 × 10⁻¹² F ) / ( 20 × 10⁻³ H ) )

[tex]I[/tex](t) = 25 × 0.00002

[tex]I[/tex](t) = 0.0005 A

[tex]I[/tex](t) = 0.5 mA

Therefore, the inductor current is 0.5 mA

The time taken for the capacitor to fully discharge is 6.28 x 10⁻⁷ s.

The current in the inductor at the given time is 0.0005 A.

Angular velocity of circuit

The angular velocity of the circuit is calculated as follows;

[tex]\omega = \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC} } \\\\\omega = \frac{1}{\sqrt{20 \times 10^{-3} \times 8 \times 10^{-12} } } \\\\\omega = 2.5 \times 10^6 \ rad/s[/tex]

Time for the capacitor to fully discharge

V = V₀(sinωt)

sinωt = V/V₀

sinωt = = 25/25

sin(ωt) = 1

ωt = sin⁻¹ (1)

ωt = π/2

2.5 x 10⁶ t = π/2

t = 1.57 / (2.5 × 10⁶)

t = 6.28 x 10⁻⁷ s

Inductor current at the given time

The current in the inductor at the given time is calculated as follows

[tex]I(t) = V_0 \sqrt{\frac{C}{L} } \\\\I = 25 \times \sqrt{\frac{8\times 10^{-12}}{20 \times 10^{-3}} } \\\\I = 0.0005 \ A[/tex]
