Initial energy stored in capacitor:
\[ U_0 = \frac{1}{2}CV_0^2 \]
In LC oscillation, total energy remains constant.
Energy in inductor at time t:
\[ U_L = U_0 \sin^2(\omega t) \]
Where angular frequency:
\[ \omega = \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}} \]
Given 25% energy transferred to inductor:
\[ U_L = \frac{U_0}{4} \]
\[ U_0 \sin^2(\omega t) = \frac{U_0}{4} \]
Cancel \(U_0\):
\[ \sin^2(\omega t) = \frac{1}{4} \]
\[ \sin(\omega t) = \frac{1}{2} \]
Smallest positive solution:
\[ \omega t = \frac{\pi}{6} \]
Substitute \(\omega\):
\[ \frac{t}{\sqrt{LC}} = \frac{\pi}{6} \]
\[ t = \frac{\pi\sqrt{LC}}{6} \]
