Q.

In the given circuit the capacitor (C) may be charged through resistance R by a battery V by closing switch S1. Also when S1 is opened and S2 is closed the capacitor is connected in series with inductor (L).

Q.   Given that the total charge stored in the LC circuit is Q0, for t≥0, the charge on the capacitor is                    [2006]

1 Q=Q0cos(π2+tLC)  
2 Q=Q0cos(π2-tLC)  
3 Q=-LCd2Qdt2  
4 Q=-1LCd2Qdt2  

Ans.

(3)

Applying Kirchhoff's law

QC-LdIdt=0⇒QC=LdIdt

⇒ Q=LCddt(-dQdt)=-LCd2Qdt2
