This problem concerns the electric circuit shown in the figure below.
A charged capacitor connected to an inductor causes a current to flow through the inductor until the capacitor is fully discharged. The current in the inductor, in turn, charges up the capacitor until the capacitor is fully charged again. If ()Q(t) is the charge on the capacitor at time t, and I is the current, then
=.I=dQdt.
If the circuit resistance is zero, then the charge Q and the current I in the circuit satisfy the differential equation
+=0,LdIdt+QC=0,
whereCis the capacitance andLis the inductance, so
22+=0.Ld2Qdt2+QC=0.
Then, just as as a spring can have a damping force which affects its motion, so can a circuit; this is introduced by the resistor, so that if the resistance of the resistor isR,
22++1=0.Ld2Qdt2+RdQdt+1CQ=0.
If =1L=1 henry, =25R=25 ohm, and =25C=25 farads, find a formula for the charge when
(a)(0)=0Q(0)=0 and (0)=2Q(0)=2:
