Question
An electric oscillator is made with a $0.10 \mu$ F capacitor and a 1.0 $\mathrm{mH}$ inductor. The capacitor is initially charged to $5.0 \mathrm{V}$. What is the maximum current through the inductor as the circuit oscillates?
Step 1
Step 1: We know that the maximum current through the inductor is given by the formula: \[I_{max} = \sqrt{\frac{C}{L}} \cdot V\] where \(C\) is the capacitance, \(L\) is the inductance, and \(V\) is the voltage. Show more…

An electric oscillator is made with a 0.20 μF capacitor and a 2.0 mH inductor. The capacitor is initially charged to 3.0 V . Part A What is the maximum current through the inductor as the circuit oscillates? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
A $1.00-\mu F$ capacitor is charged by a $40.0-\mathrm{V}$ power supply. The fully charged capacitor is then discharged through a $10.0-\mathrm{mH}$ inductor. Find the maximum current in the resulting oscillations.
