In a certain oscillating lccircuit, the total energy is converted from electrical energy in the capacitor to magnetic energy in the inductor in 1.61 μs. what are(a)the period of oscillation in microseconds and(b)the frequency of oscillation? (c)how long after the magnetic energy is a maximum will it be a maximum again?

a) 6.44 us

b) 155 kHz

c) 3.22 us

Explanation:

In an oscillating LC circuit the energy flows from capacitor to inductor back and forth. The capacitor is fully charged when the voltage peaks, it does this twice per cycle, in opposite polarities (positive and negative voltage peaks). During these peaks the current is zero, so the energy stored in the inductor is zero. During a cycle the voltage crosses zero twice (once going up and once going down),  during these moments the current is maximum, in different directions, and in those moments the inductor is charged at maximum. The time between the voltage peak (cap fully charged, inductor empty) and the voltage crossing zero (cap empty, inductor full) is 1/4 of the cycle period.

Since we know this time to be 1.6 us, we know the period must be 4*1.61 us = 6.44 us.

The frequency is 1/T = 1 / 6.44e-6 = 1.55e5 = 155 kHz

The magnetic energy maximums happen when the voltage crosses the zero, this happens every T/2 = 3.22 us.

as a general rule, scissors have blades less than 6 in (15 cm) long and usually have handles with finger holes of the same size. shears have blades scissors used to cut hair or fabric must be much sharper

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it

hope this
