The correct Answer is:
To find the frequency of discharge of a capacitor through an inductor, we can use the formula for the resonant frequency of an LC circuit: \[ f = \frac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{LC}} \] where: - \( f \) is the frequency in hertz (Hz), - \( L \) is the inductance in henries (H), - \( C \) is the capacitance in farads (F). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the values given in the problem:** - Capacitance, \( C = 0.5 \, \mu F = 0.5 \times 10^{-6} \, F \) - Inductance, \( L = 10 \, mH = 10 \times 10^{-3} \, H \) 2. **Convert the units if necessary:** - The values are already in the correct units for the formula. 3. **Substitute the values into the formula:** \[ f = \frac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{L \cdot C}} = \frac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{(10 \times 10^{-3}) \cdot (0.5 \times 10^{-6})}} \] 4. **Calculate the product \( L \cdot C \):** \[ L \cdot C = (10 \times 10^{-3}) \cdot (0.5 \times 10^{-6}) = 5 \times 10^{-9} \, H \cdot F \] 5. **Calculate the square root:** \[ \sqrt{L \cdot C} = \sqrt{5 \times 10^{-9}} \approx 2.236 \times 10^{-5} \, s \] 6. **Substitute the square root back into the frequency formula:** \[ f = \frac{1}{2\pi (2.236 \times 10^{-5})} \] 7. **Calculate the frequency:** \[ f \approx \frac{1}{6.2832 \times 2.236 \times 10^{-5}} \approx \frac{1}{1.404 \times 10^{-4}} \approx 7115.56 \, Hz \] 8. **Final Result:** \[ f \approx 7115.56 \, Hz \] ### Final Answer: The frequency of discharge is approximately **7115.56 Hz**.
