0.78=6.41(Ω)
LW/O=VS
IO×S=5.00
0.78×829=7.73×103(H)
T = 0.0017 (s)

Δf=fmeasuredfprediction=588.2 555.8 =32.4(Hz)
b. Energy
The total energy in RLC circuit:
U=Uc+UL=1 2CV2+1
2LI2
Comment:
- After stopping the electric power, the energy of the circuit does not decrease
rapidly to zero, it reduces to zero over a short period of time.
- The energy of oscillations of the coil and the capacitor are damped oscillations.
Explain:
The energy of the circuit loses by the heat of the resistor at rate
i2R
The graph of total energy is steepest at the time that the magnetic energy reaches a
local maximum because in these times, the current through the coil is highest, and
the loss of energy is mainly due to the resistance of the coil (
ΔQ R=i2
).
