Chapter 8, Problem 76RQ
A 20-millihenry [mH] inductor, a 0.5-mtcrofarad [µF] capacitor, and a 25-kilo-ohm [kΩ] resistor are connected in a loop, so that all current through any component goes through both of the others. If the inductor had an initial current of 40 milliamperes [mA] and the capacitor had an initial voltage of 9 volts [V], how much energy win the resistor have absorbed after both the inductor and the capacitor have fully discharged? Express your answer in joules [J] using an appropriate SI prefix such that there are only one, two, or three digits shown to the left of the decimal.
