Answer

$q=q_0\cos (\frac{t}{\sqrt LC})$

Work Step by Step

Since $\frac{du}{dt}$, we obtain: $$\frac{du}{dt}=\frac{du}{dq}\frac{dq}{dt}=u\frac{du}{dt}$$ In form of differential equation: $$\frac{d^2q}{dt^2}+\frac{1}{LC}q=0$$ $$u\frac{du}{dq}+\frac{q}{LC}=0$$ $$udu+\frac{q}{LC}dq=0$$ Integrating both sides: $$\frac{1}{2}u^2+\frac{1}{2}q^2.\frac{1}{LC}+c_1=0$$ Since $u(q_0)=0$, we have: $$0+\frac{1}{2}q_0^2.\frac{1}{LC}+c_1=0$$ Solve for $c_1$: $$ \rightarrow c_1=-\frac{1}{2LC}q_0^2$$ Hence here, $$u=\sqrt \frac{1}{LC}(q_0^2-q^2)$$ $$\frac{dq}{dt}=\sqrt \frac{1}{LC}(q_0^2-q^2)$$ $$\int \frac{dq}{\sqrt q_0^2-q^2}=\int \frac{1}{\sqrt LC}dt$$ Integrating both sides: $$\sin^{-1}(\frac{q}{q_0})=\frac{t}{\sqrt LC}+c_2$$ Since $q_0=q(0)$, we have: $$c_2=\frac{\pi }{2}$$ Thus, the charge on the capacitor for $t \gt 0$ is: $$q=q_0 \sin (\frac{\pi}{2}+\frac{t}{\sqrt LC})$$ $$q=q_0\cos (\frac{t}{\sqrt LC})$$
