Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 668

Question: Two capacitors $ C _{1} $ and $ C _{2} $ $ (C _{1}>C _{2}) $ are charged separately to same potential. Now they are allowed to discharge through similar resistors. Initial rate of discharging will be

Options:

A) More for $ C _{1} $

B) More for $ C _{2} $

C) Same for both

D) Cannot say

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] Initial rate of discharging means initial current, which is equal to V/R, where V is initial potential. Here V and R are the same for both.
