Question

When a capacitor is fully charged, the current through the capacitor in a direct-current circuit is

zero

at its maximum value

equal to the current in a resistive circuit in parallel with the capacitor circuit

greater than the current in a resistor that is farther from the battery than the capacitor

zero if it is the only capacitor, but maximum if there is another capacitor in series with it

a.

zero

b.

at its maximum value

c.

equal to the current in a resistive circuit in parallel with the capacitor circuit

d.

greater than the current in a resistor that is farther from the battery than the capacitor

e.

zero if it is the only capacitor, but maximum if there is another capacitor in series with it

Explanation / Answer

a.

zero

when switch is closed intially current is maximum and the charge on the capacitor is zero.

As the time passes charge on the capacitor plates increases current in the ckt decreases.

after a long time charge on plates becomes maximum and the current circuit becomes zero.
