In an oscillating L C circuit the maximum charge on the capacitor is Q . The charge on the capacitor when the energy is stored equally between the electric and magnetic field is:

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Total energy U_{t o t a l} = \frac{Q ^{2}}{2 C} .Energy in capacitor U_{E} = \frac{q ^{2}}{2 C} .Given U_{E} = \frac{1}{2} U_{t o t a l} : \frac{q ^{2}}{2 C} = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{Q ^{2}}{2 C}) q^{2} = \frac{Q ^{2}}{2} ⟹ q = \frac{Q}{2}

Try it yourself before checking the explanation above.
