ANSWER:
The energy density in a magnetic field is given in general by
,
so the total stored energy
is
,
in this case
, or
ANSWER:
Since
,
when
and since
,
this occurs when
.
We know that the current in an RL circuit decays exponentially,
so
. We are therefore looking for the time
when
, or
.
We can determine the time constant
from the given fact that
or
s.
This then gives
ANSWER:
The time constant is
. With
this gives
L=0.280 H (Henries). It is also true that a solenoid
of this form has
, giving
or
ANSWER:
The phase of the oscillation is

By inspection,
s-1 and
rad.
Thus
will reach its maximum amplitude at
, for which
or
However, since this gives a maximum
negative current, one might argue that the maximum
(positive) current will first occur when
or
for
or
Either answer is acceptable.
ANSWER:
Since

ANSWER:
When
A, all the energy is in the
inductance L. Later on this gets shared back and forth with the
capacitance, but the total energy never changes. Thus
or
ANSWER:
Generally only the loops with both an L and a C can resonate.
Any ``external" C is just a ``spectator"
(consider
on the outermost loop
in C or D). Thus

ANSWER:
After S has been closed for a long time, dI/dt = 0 and L
acts like a plain wire. Then both resistors have the same potential drop
as the battery:
, giving
I1 = 12 V
A and
I2 = 12 V
A.
Also at that time
V.
When the switch opens at t=0, the isolated right loop is just an LR
circuit with L=0.12 H and
.
The current
I2 = 0.714 A flowing through L cannot change
suddenly but that through R1 immediately reverses direction and
is thereafter equal to I2 = I. Subsequently
I(t) =
[0.1714 A
where
s. Point A is at a voltage
with respect to ground and point B
is at a voltage
with respect to ground.
These have initial values
V and
V and both decay exponentially
toward zero with time constant
.
