Figure 31-19 shows three oscillating LC circuits with identical inductors and capacitors At a particular time, the charges on the capacitor plates (and thus the electric fields between the plates) are all at their maximum values Rank the circuits according to the time taken to fully discharge the capacitors during the oscillations, greatest first.
Figure 31-19 Question 1.
To find:
The rank of the circuits according to the time taken to fully discharge the capacitors during the oscillations.
Answer to Problem 1Q
Solution:
The rank of the circuits according to time taken to fully discharge the capacitors during the oscillations is circuit b, circuit a, circuit c.
Explanation of Solution
1) Concept:
The charging and discharging of a capacitor in a LC circuit is like an oscillatory motion. The period of these oscillations depends upon the values of the inductance and the capacitance in the circuit.
2) Formula:
i)
ii)
3) Given:
i) The inductors and capacitors in the three circuits are identical.
ii) The two capacitors in the circuit b are in parallel combination.
iii) The two capacitors in the circuit c are in series combination.
4) Calculations:
a) Consider circuit b. The two capacitors are connected in parallel combination. Hence the effective capacitance of the circuit is
Since both the capacitors are identical, the effective capacitance is
b) Now, consider circuit c. The two capacitors are connected in series combination. Hence the effective capacitance of the circuit is
Since both the capacitors are identical, the effective capacitance is
c) The period of oscillations is calculated using the equation
and
i.e.,
Thus, we see that
But since the inductors in the three circuits are identical,
Now, for circuit b, the effective capacitance is greatest among the three. Hence its period is also the greatest. Thus, time for the capacitor to discharge fully, which is
For circuit a, the capacitance is C, which is smaller than that for circuit b. Hence the time for the discharge will also be smaller.
For circuit c, the effective capacitance is the smallest among the three. Hence the time required for complete discharge will also be the smallest.
Thus the ranks for the circuits are circuit b, circuit a, and then circuit c.
Conclusion:
The time required for the capacitor to discharge fully is

- 13.87 ... Interplanetary Navigation. The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to another planet is by using a Hohmann transfer orbit (Fig. P13.87). If the orbits of the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the depar- ture planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it reaches the destination planet. The rockets are then fired again to put the spacecraft into the same orbit about the sun as the destination planet. (a) For a flight from earth to Mars, in what direction must the rockets be fired at the earth and at Mars: in the direction of motion, or opposite the direction of motion? What about for a flight from Mars to the earth? (b) How long does a one- way trip from the the earth to Mars take, between the firings of the rockets?
