Homework Statement
An oscillating LC circuit has a current amplitude of 7.20 mA, a potential amplitude of 250 mV, and a capacitance of 240 nF.
(a) What is the period of oscillation?
(e) What is the maximum rate at which the inductor gains energy?
Homework Equations
Possibly: Energy stored in an inductor = 1/2 * L * I^2
i = -wQsin(wt+ø)
The Attempt at a Solution
Energy per unit of time is Watts.
If I find the equation for energy stored in an inductor, I can differenceate that with respect to time and find its maximum value.
I thought that this would be:
dE/dt = P = -L(w^3)(Q^2)sin(wt)cos(wt)
And isn't the maximum value for this just
(1/2)L(w^3)(Q^2) ?
And isn't that just
0.9 mW ?
I've done this problem wrong several times so far, so is this one right?
