In $$LC$$ circuit the inductance $$L = 40$$ mH and capacitance $$C = 100$$ $$\mu$$F. If a voltage $$V(t) = 10\sin(314t)$$ is applied to the circuit, the current in the circuit is given as:
We have an ideal series $$LC$$ circuit fed by the sinusoidal voltage
$$v(t)=10\sin(314t)\;{\rm volt}$$
Comparing with the standard form $$V_0\sin(\omega t)$$, we identify the angular frequency
$$\omega = 314\;{\rm rad\,s^{-1}}\; , \qquad V_0 = 10\;{\rm V}.$$
The given component values are
$$L = 40\;{\rm mH}=40\times10^{-3}\;{\rm H}=0.04\;{\rm H},$$
$$C = 100\;\mu{\rm F}=100\times10^{-6}\;{\rm F}=1.0\times10^{-4}\;{\rm F}.$$
For a series circuit containing only $$L$$ and $$C$$, the impedance is purely reactive. We must therefore find the inductive reactance $$X_L$$ and the capacitive reactance $$X_C$$ and then combine them.
Formulae stated first:
Inductive reactance: $$X_L = \omega L.$$
Capacitive reactance: $$X_C = \dfrac{1}{\omega C}.$$
Substituting the numerical values
$$X_L = 314 \times 0.04 = 12.56\;\Omega,$$
$$X_C = \dfrac{1}{314 \times 1.0\times10^{-4}} = \dfrac{1}{3.14\times10^{-2}} = 31.85\;\Omega.$$
Because the inductor and capacitor are in series, the combined reactance is
$$X = X_L - X_C.$$
So,
$$X = 12.56 - 31.85 = -19.29\;\Omega.$$
The negative sign shows that the net reactance is capacitive. Its magnitude (which is the impedance, since there is no resistance) is
$$Z = |X| = 19.29\;\Omega.$$
Current amplitude
Ohm’s law for AC gives $$I_0 = \dfrac{V_0}{Z}.$$ Substituting,
$$I_0 = \dfrac{10}{19.29} \approx 0.52\;{\rm A}.$$
Phase of the current
For a purely capacitive reactance, current leads voltage by $$\dfrac{\pi}{2}$$ (90°). Mathematically, if the voltage is $$\sin(\omega t)$$, the current will be $$\sin(\omega t + \dfrac{\pi}{2}) = \cos(\omega t).$$
Hence the complete time‐domain expression for the current is
$$i(t) = 0.52\cos(314t)\;{\rm A}.$$
Matching this with the options provided, we see that it corresponds to Option A.
Hence, the correct answer is Option A.
