In the following circuit, the switch S is closed at t = 0. The charge on the capacitor C1 as a function of time will be given by
Multiple Choice Options
- A C1E[1−exp(−tR/C1)]
- B C2E[1−exp(−t/RC2)]
- C CeqE[1−exp(−t/RCeq)]
- D CeqEexp(−t/RCeq)
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Charge on capacitor at time t,
q = q0 [ 1 e t/RCeq]
= Ceq E [ 1 e t/RCeq]
[ as q0 = Ceq E]
this charge q will be on both capacitor C1 and C2, as both are in series.
q = q0 [ 1
= Ceq E [ 1
[ as
this charge q will be on both capacitor C1 and C2, as both are in series.
