Solution
The correct option is C10√3μC
The voltage drop across C1 will be half of battery voltage as there is no current flowing when key k1 is closed at t=∞ and capacitance of both the capacitors is sameV1=20/2=10V
Charge on equivalent capacitor Q0=C1V1=2μF∗10=20μC
before k2 is closed charge on capacitor C1isQ0=CV=20μC
As the key k2 is closed and k1 is opened, the energy will oscillate between capacitor and inductor in LC circuit,total energy of system will remain constant.
Uc+UL=Q202×C1
The question states that energy in capacitor is three times of inductor i.e.
