In an oscillating LC circuit, the maximum charge on the capacitor is ' Q '. When the energy is stored equally between the electric and magnetic fields, the charge on the capacitor becomes

A. Q 4

B. Q 2

C. Q 2

D. Q 3

Correct Option is (C)

Maximum energy stored in a capacitor, E 1 = Q 2 2 C

When energy is stored equally between the electric and magnetic fields, then energy in the capacitor is E 2 = 1 2 E 1

If Q is the charge on the capacitor in this case, then E 2 = Q 2 2 C .

Q 2 2 C = 1 2 Q 2 2 C Q = Q 2 .
