Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 138

Question: When the key K is pressed at time $ t=0 $ , which of the following statements about the current I in the resistor AB of the given circuit is true

[CBSE PMT 1995]

Options:

A) I = 2 mA at all t

B) I oscillates between 1 mA and 2mA

C) I = 1 mA at all t

D) At t = 0 , I = 2 mA and with time it goes to 1 mA

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

At time t = 0 i.e. when capacitor is charging, current $ i=\frac{2}{1000}=2mA $ When capacitor is full charged, no current will pass through it, hence current through the circuit $ i=\frac{2}{2000}=1mA $
