Show that the sum of electrostatic energy and magnetic energy in an LC oscillator equals (q_(0)^(2))/(2C).

Answer»

Solution :Total energy = `=U_(E)+U_(m)`
`=(1)/(2)(q_(0)^(2))/(C)cos^(2)omegat+(1)/(2)Lq_(0)^(2)omega^(2)sin^(2)omegat`
`=(1)/(2)(q_(0)^(2))/(C)cos^(2)omegat+(1)/(2)q_(0)^(2)L((1)/(SQRT(LC)))^(2)sin^(2)omegat`
`=(1)/(2)(q_(0)^(2))/(C)cos^(2)omegat+(1)/(2)(q_(0)^(2))/(C)sin^(2)omegat`
`=(1)/(2)(q_(0)^(2))/(C)[cos^(2)omegat+sin^(2)omegat]`
`=(1)/(2)(q_(0)^(2))/(C)`
`q_(0)` and C are time independent constants.
Note :
Maximum energy of a CAPACITOR = maximum energy of an inductor = `(1)/(2)(q_(0)^(2))/(C)=(1)/(2)Li_(m)^(2)`
At any given INSTANT, the total energy, in an LC oscillator is the sum of energy in each of them.
