The maximum energy stored in the capacitor occurs when there is no current in the inductor; the max energy in the inductor happens when there is no voltage across the capacitor. Absent losses, those two maxima would be the same. | |
Nov 1, 2017 at 15:18 | comment | added | Marc Striebeck | @ Floris, you wrote: "It turns out that the energy stored in the capacitor is exactly the same as the energy stored in the inductor." You mean that the energy is first stored in the inductor and then into the capacitor as two separate events correct? So You're saying that the inductor first stores half the energy, and then transfers this half energy into the capacitor which stores it as half the energy. Am I getting that right? Or no? | |
