Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 658

Question: The plot represents the flow of current through a wire at three different times. The ratio of charges flowing through the wire at different times is (see figure)

Options:

A) 2 : 1 : 2

B) 1 : 3 : 3

C) 1 : 1 : 1

D) 2 : 3 : 4

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] Charge = area under the current-time graph $ q _{1}=2\times 1=2,q _{2}=1\times 2=2, $ and $ q _{3}=\frac{1}{2}\times 2\times 2=2 $

$ q _{1}:q _{2}:q _{3}=2:2:2=1:1:1 $
