At the time shown the current has its maximum value. At this time: 1. the charge on the capacitor has its maximum value. 2. the magnetic field is zero. 3. the electric field has its maximum value. 4. the charge on the capacitor is zero. 35 Concept Q. Answer: LC Circuit Answer: 4. The current is maximum when the charge on the capacitor is zero Current and charge are exactly 90 degrees out of phase in an ideal LC circuit (no resistance), so when the current is maximum the charge must be identically zero. 36 12 Concept Question: LC Circuit In the LC circuit at right the current is in the direction shown and the charges on the capacitor have the signs shown.
