2.2 Energy

The total energy in RLC circuit:

1 2 1 2
U =U C +U L= C V + L I
2 2
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.
The difference in phase of them is 180 degree.
Explain:
- The energy of the circuit loses by the heat of the resistor at rate i 2 R
-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 (∆ Q=i 2 R ).
