The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Formula for maximum current in LC oscillation.
\[ I_{max} = Q_{max}\,\omega \] where \[ \omega = \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}} \]

Step 2: Convert values.

\[ L = 1.6 \times 10^{-3}\,H,\quad C = 4 \times 10^{-6}\,F \]

Step 3: Compute \(LC\).

\[ LC = 6.4 \times 10^{-9} \]

Step 4: Compute \(\omega\).

\[ \sqrt{LC} = 8 \times 10^{-5} \Rightarrow \omega = 1.25 \times 10^{4} \]

Step 5: Compute current.

\[ I_{max} = (4 \times 10^{-6})(1.25 \times 10^{4}) = 5 \times 10^{-2}\,A \]

Step 6: Final result.

\[ I_{max} = 50\,mA \]
Final Answer: \[ \boxed{50\,mA} \]
