The correct Answer is:
To find the maximum current that will flow in the circuit when a capacitor is connected in parallel to an inductor, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Energy Conservation**: The energy stored in the capacitor will be transferred to the inductor. The total energy in the circuit remains constant and oscillates between the capacitor and the inductor. 2. **Calculate the Initial Energy Stored in the Capacitor**: The energy (U) stored in a capacitor is given by the formula: \[ U = \frac{1}{2} C V^2 \] where: - \( C = 1 \mu F = 1 \times 10^{-6} F \) - \( V = 1 V \) Plugging in the values: \[ U = \frac{1}{2} \times 1 \times 10^{-6} \times (1)^2 = \frac{1}{2} \times 10^{-6} = 0.5 \times 10^{-6} \, J = 5 \times 10^{-7} \, J \] 3. **Relate Energy to Maximum Current in the Inductor**: The energy stored in the inductor when the current is at its maximum (\( I_{max} \)) is given by: \[ U = \frac{1}{2} L I_{max}^2 \] where: - \( L = 10^{-3} H \) Setting the energies equal (since energy is conserved): \[ \frac{1}{2} L I_{max}^2 = 5 \times 10^{-7} \] 4. **Solve for Maximum Current**: Rearranging the equation to solve for \( I_{max} \): \[ I_{max}^2 = \frac{2 \times 5 \times 10^{-7}}{L} \] Substituting \( L \): \[ I_{max}^2 = \frac{2 \times 5 \times 10^{-7}}{10^{-3}} = 10^{-4} \] Taking the square root: \[ I_{max} = \sqrt{10^{-4}} = 10^{-2} \, A = 0.1 \, A \] 5. **Convert to Milliamperes**: To express the current in milliamperes: \[ I_{max} = 0.1 \, A = 100 \, mA \] ### Final Answer: The maximum current that will flow in the circuit is \( 100 \, mA \). ---
