Answer:

C = 44.75 x 10⁻⁸ F

Explanation:

Assuming no loss of energy between capacitor and inductor

energy in inductor initially = 1/2 Li₀² where L is inductance and i₀ is peak current .

= .5 x 6 x 10⁻³ x .57²

= .97 x 10⁻³ J .

This energy is transferred to capacitor .

energy of capacitor = 1/2 CV²

= .5 x C x 66²

= 2178 C

2178C = .97 x 10⁻³

C = 44.75 x 10⁻⁸ F .

The magnetic energy stored in the inductor is transformed into electrical energy stored in the capacitor. The value of capacitance for the given circuit is 44.75 x 10⁻⁸ F

Finding the capacitance:

According to the law of conservation of energy, the magnetic energy stored in the inductor will be gradually lost and this energy will be stored in the capacitor as electrical energy.

Initially, the energy in the inductor is:

E = 1/2 Li₀²

where L is inductance

and i₀ is peak current.

E = 0.5 × 6 × 10⁻³ × (0.57)²

E = 0.97 × 10⁻³J

This energy is transformed into electrical energy stored in the capacitor.

So the capacitor energy is:

E = 1/2 CV²

where C is the capacitance

E = 0.5 × C × 66²

E = 2178 C

0.97 x 10⁻³ = 2178 C

C = 44.75 x 10⁻⁸ F
