3. The ideal capacitor does not dissipate energy. It takes power from the circuit when
storing energy in its field and returns previously stored energy when delivering power
to the circuit.
3. Like the ideal capacitor, the ideal inductor does not dissipate energy. The energy stored in
it can be retrieved at a later time. The inductor takes power from the circuit when storing
energy and delivers power to the circuit when returning previously stored energy.
4. A practical, nonideal inductor has a significant resistive component. This is due
to the fact that the inductor is made of a conducting material such as copper,
which has some resistance. This resistance is called the winding resistance Rw.
The nonideal inductor also has a winding capacitance Cw due to the
capacitive coupling between the conducting coils.
Both Rw and Cw are very small and can be neglected.
Consider the circuit in Fig. Under dc conditions, find: (a) i,
and (b) the energy stored in the capacitor and inductor.
