LC Circuits: A series circuit contains an 80-μF capacitor, a 0.020-H inductor, and a switch. The resistance of the circuit is negligible. Initially, the switch is open, the capacitor voltage is 50 V, and the current in the inductor is zero. At time t = 0 s, the switch is closed. When the potential across the capacitor is 30 V, what is the rate of change of the current?

Answer:

The rate of current change in the circuit is [tex]\frac{dI}{dt} = 1500 A/s[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The capacitor has a value [tex]C = 80 \mu F[/tex]

     The inductor has a value [tex]L = 0.020 H[/tex]

     The capacitors voltage is  [tex]V_c = 50V[/tex] at t = 0s

     The new capacitor voltage is [tex]V_c__{n}} = 30 V[/tex]

Generally when the switch is  closed the potential across the inductor is equal to the potential across the capacitor

So for the inductor

     rate of current change is given as

                     [tex]\frac{dI}{dt} = \frac{V_l}{L}[/tex]

Where [tex]V_l[/tex] is the  voltage across the inductor.     [tex]V_l = V_c__{n}}[/tex]

Substituting value

                    [tex]\frac{dI}{dt} = \frac{30}{0.020}[/tex]

                     [tex]\frac{dI}{dt} = 1500 A/s[/tex]
