A capacitor, initially charged, and an inductor form an LC circuit. When the electric current in the circuit is equal to zero how much energy is stored on each device?
A)Inductor: zero energy. Capacitor: zero energy
B)Inductor: Half of the maximum energy. Capacitor: Half of the maximum energy
C)Inductor: maximum energy. Capacitor: zero energy
D)Inductor: zero energy. Capacitor: maximum energy
E)Inductor: maximum energy. Capacitor: maximum energy
