14.6 Exercise 1

Avg difficulty 2.5

In an RLC circuit, L=5.0mH,C=6.0μF,andR=200Ω.L = 5.0 \text{mH} , C = 6.0 \mu \text{F} , \text{and} R = 200 \Omega . (a) Is the circuit underdamped, critically damped, or overdamped? (b) If the circuit starts oscillating with a charge of 3.0×10−3C3.0 \times 10^{−3} \text{C} on the capacitor, how much energy has been dissipated in the resistor by the time the oscillations cease?
