The energy stored in a capacitor at any given time is given by E = {1\over 2}Cv_{\rm C}^2
The energy stored in an inductor at any given time is given by E = {1\over 2}Li_{\rm L}^2
Given these definitions, consider the circuits and questions below:
Assuming this system starts with 0 energy stored at time 0, calculate the amount of energy (in Joules) stored in the cap after T seconds.
Assuming this system starts with 0 energy stored, calculate the amount of energy (in Joules) stored in the inductor after T seconds.
Assuming that C_1=C_2=C, and that the system starts with 0 energy stored, calculate the amount of energy (in Joules) stored in the C_1 capacitor after T seconds. Use the value of C in your answer (not C_1 or C_2)
Assuming that L_1=L_2=L, and that the system starts with 0 energy stored, calculate the amount of energy (in Joules) stored in the L_1 inductor after T seconds. Use the value of L in your answer (not L_1 or L_2)
