Question

A resistor and a capacitor are connected in series across an ideal battery having a constant voltage across its terminals. (a) At the moment contact is made with the battery the voltage across the capacitor is A resistor and a capacitor are connected in series across an ideal battery having a constant voltage across its terminals. (a) At the moment contact is made with the battery the voltage across the capacitor is greater that the battery's terminal voltage. equal to the battery's terminal voltage. less than the battery's terminal voltage, but greater than zero. zero.

Explanation / Answer

at starting when we connect the voltage source capacitor is started charging.so at the moment the voltage source is in contact with the capacitor maximum current flows through the circuit and the whole potential drop comes across the resistor and capacitor behave like a short circuit .Thus the voltage across the capacitor will be=0V
