Q. Unfortunately, while embarking on another research adventure, Dr. Livingston’s plane crashes in the Andes mountains. Because he was studying this module on the way over, the rest of the crew officially designated him to be the radio guy. His task consists of transmitting SOS to civilization and calling for help. In order to do this, he must first build an LC circuit with a resonant frequency of 320 Hz. The tools at his disposal are batteries worth 300 V of power supply, two resistors of 35 Ω and 55 Ω each, an inductor of 10 mH and two capacitors of 25 μF and 55 μF. Which tools does he use to assemble the circuit?
300 V batteries, the 55 μF capacitor, the 25 μF capacitor and the inductor of 10 mH
300 V batteries, the 35 Ω resistor, no capacitor and the inductor of 10 mH
300 V batteries, no resistor, the 25 μF capacitor and the inductor of 10 mH
300 V batteries, no resistor, the 55 μF capacitor, and the inductor of 10 mH
He doesn’t have the required parts to complete this task. They’re doomed..
Q. To correctly build a critically damped circuit, you must:

Q. Why is there no magnetic flux for a closed surface?
Because electric monopoles do not exist
Because electric dipoles do not exist
Because magnetic dipoles do not exist
Because magnetic monopoles do not exist
The magnetic flux does not equal zero for a closed surface.

Q. We close the switch of an LC circuit. When the current reaches its maximum, what is the value of electric energy stored in the capacitor?
The electric energy keeps fluctuating, so it has no precise value.
The electric energy is zero.
The electric energy is at its maximum.
The electric energy is half of the magnetic energy.
There is not enough information to answer this question.
