AIIMS 2018 Physics Capacitors MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

In an Oscillation of L-C circuit, the maximum charge on the capacitor is QQ. The charge on the capacitor when the energy is stored equally between the electric and magnetic field is

A

Q2\frac{Q}{2}

B

Q2\frac{Q}{\sqrt{2}}

C

Q3\frac{Q}{\sqrt{3}}

D

Q3\frac{Q}{3}

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

When the energy stored in a capacitor is equally divided between the electric field and the magnetic field, the relationship q22C=12Q22C\frac{q^2}{2C} = \frac{1}{2} \frac{Q^2}{2C} leads to the conclusion that q=Q2q = \frac{Q}{\sqrt{2}}. This indicates that the charge qq on the capacitor is reduced to Q2\frac{Q}{\sqrt{2}} when the energy is balanced, confirming option B as correct. Other options are not applicable or relevant to this specific relationship, as they do not provide valid alternatives or additional information regarding the energy distribution in the capacitor and inductor system.
