Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 726

Question: The circuit shown here has two batteries of 8.0 V and 16.0 V and three resistors $ 3\Omega $ , $ 9\Omega , $ and $ 9\Omega , $ a capacitor of $ 5.0\mu F. $ How much is the current I in the circuit in steady state?

Options:

A) 1.6 A

B) 0.67 A

C) 2.5 A

D) 0.25 A

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] In steady state capacitor is fully charged hence no current will flow through line 2. By simplifying the circuit Hence resultant potential difference across resistances will be 8.0 V. This current $ \text{or, }I=\frac{2}{3}=0.67A $
