A fully charged capacitor C with initial charge `q_(0)` is connected to a coil of self inductance L at t=0. The time at which the energy is stored equally between the electric and the magnetic fields isA. `(pi)/(4)sqrt(LC)`B. `2pi sqrt(LC)`C. `sqrt(LC)`D. `pi sqrt(LC)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
As `omega^(2)=(1)/(LC)` or `omega=(1)/(sqrt(LC))`
Maximum energy stored in capacitor `=(1)/(2)(Q_(0)^(2))/(C )`
Let at any instant t, the energy be stored equally between electric and magnetic field. Then energy stored in electric field at instant t is
`(1)/(2)(Q^(2))/(C )=(1)/(2)[(1)/(2)(Q_(0)^(@))/(C )]`
or `Q^(2)=(Q_(0)^(2))/(2)` or `Q=(Q_(0))/(sqrt(2)) rArr Q_(0) cos omega t = (Q_(0))/(sqrt(2))`
or `omega t=(pi)/(4)` or `t=(pi)/(4omega) = (pi)/(4xx(1//sqrt(LC)))=(pi sqrt(LC))/(4)`
