Question

An inductor is connected in series to a fully charged capacitor. Which of the following statements are true? Check all that apply.- As the capacitor is charging, the current is increasing.- The stored electric field energy can be greater than the stored magnetic field energy.- As the capacitor is discharging, the current is increasing.- The stored electric field energy can be less than the stored magnetic field energy.- The stored electric field energy can be equal to the stored magnetic field energy.

Answer 1

Answer:

As the capacitor is discharging, the current is increasing

Explanation:

Lets take

C= Capacitance

L=Inductance

V=Voltage

I= Current

The total energy E given as

$E=\dfrac{IL^2}{2}+\dfrac{CV^2}{2}$

We know that total energy E is conserved so when electric energy 1/2 CV² decreases then magnetic energy 1/2 IL²  will increases.

It means that when charge on the capacitor decreases then the current will increase.

As the capacitor is discharging, the current is increasing
