NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-diagram based-Medium-Class 12

A diagram shows an LC circuit with a capacitor initially charged to q_0 and connected to an ideal inductor. Which of the following correctly describes the energy stored in the capacitor and inductor at the point when the current is maximum?

Question diagram
A

The energy in the capacitor is zero, and the energy in the inductor is maximum.

B

The energy in the capacitor is maximum, and the energy in the inductor is zero.

C

The energy in both the capacitor and inductor is maximum.

D

The energy is equally distributed between the capacitor and inductor.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

At the maximum current, the capacitor is fully discharged, so its energy is zero, while the inductor stores the maximum energy.
