An inductor in an LC circuit has a maximum current of 2.4 A and a maximum energy of 56 mJ.

Physics

Answer:

The energy stored in the capacitor, when the current in the inductor is 1.2 A, is 41.6 mJ.

Explanation:

In a LC oscillating circuit, the energy is stored in the electric field (between the plates of the capacitor) and in the magnetic field (surrounding the wires of the inductor).

At any time, the sum of both energies can be expressed as follows:

E = 1/2 Q² / C   +  1/2 L I²

In this type of circuit, energy oscillates, which means that it is exchanging between both fields all time.

When the capacitor is completely discharged, all the energy is stored in the magnetic field, and at that time, the current is maximum.

The total energy, when I is maximum, can be written as follows:

E = 1/2 L I² (1)

In our case, when I= 2.4A, E= 56 mJ.

So, we can find out the value of L, which will allow us to know the value of the magnetic energy at any time, having the value of the instantaneous current.

Solving for L in (1):

L = 2 *.56 mJ / (2.4)² A² = 20 mH

The next step is getting the value of the energy stored in the inductor, when I = 1.2 A, as follows:

Em = 1/2 *20 mH.* (1.2)² A² = 14.4 mJ

As the total energy must be always the same, i.e., 56 mJ, the energy stored in the capacitor, assuming no losses, must be the difference between the total energy and the one stored in the magnetic field:

Ec = 56 mJ - 14.4 mJ = 41.6 mJ

A compound is made up of two or more of what?
jolli1 [7]
A compound is made up of two or more of atoms that are bonded together with each other via a chemical bonding. It is possible to break the compounds into separate smaller components by the process of chemical reaction. One very simple example of compound is water as it is made of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. Whenever atoms are joined together to create a compound, the atoms definitely loose their individual atomic properties. Other very commonly found compound is carbon dioxide. It is made up of one atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen.

What is transmitted by all waves
Nesterboy [21]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Energy

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • A wave is a transmission of disturbance from one point to another. All waves involve transmission of energy from one point called the source to another point.
  • <em><u>Waves describes various ways in which energy can be transferred from a point source.</u></em>
  • <em><u>In electromagnetic waves</u></em><em>, for instance, </em><em><u>energy transmission occurs as a result of vibrations of electric and magnetic fields</u></em><u>.</u>
  • <u><em>In mechanical waves energy transmission is as a result of vibration of particles in the medium used</em></u>. For example in sound waves, energy is transferred through vibration of particles of air or particles of a solid or medium through which sound travels through.
