In the circuit shown, the capacitor is initially charged with a 12V battery, when switch $S_{1}$ is open and switch $S_{2}$ is closed. $S_{1}$ is then closed and, at the same time, $S_{2}$ is opened. The maximum value of current in the circuit is

A
0.72mA
B
0.84mA
C
0.38mA
D
0.1mA.

Solution:

$\begin{array}{l} \frac{1}{2} L i^{2} = \frac{1}{2} C v^{2} \\ i = v \sqrt{\frac{C}{L}} = 12 \sqrt{\frac{9 X 10^{- 12}}{2.5 X 10^{- 3}}} = \frac{12 X 3}{5} \sqrt{10^{- 8}} i = 7.2 X 10^{- 4} A \end{array}$
