Current in an LC Circuit

Question (Chap. 23)

A. There will be no current in the circuit at any time because of the opposing emf in the inductor.

B. The current in the circuit will maximize at time t when the capacitor will have charge Q(t)=0.

C. The current in the circuit will maximize at time t when capacitor will have full charge Q(t)=Q0.

D. The current will decay exponentially.

Q0

A capacitor C was charged and contains charge +Q0 and –Q0 on each of its plates, respectively. It is then connected to an inductor (coil) L. Assuming the ideal case (wires have no resistance) which is true?

QuestionTwo metal rings lie side-by-side on a table. Current in the left ring runs clockwise and is increasing with time. This induces a current in the right ring. This current runs

A) ClockwiseB) Counterclockwise
