Question

When a capacitor discharges through a resistor, the current in the circuit is minimum a) at the beginning of the process. b) near the middle of the process c) at the end of the process d) after one time constant

Answer 1

Answer:

a ) at the beginning of the process.

Explanation:

When a capacitor discharges through a resistor, the current in the circuit is minimum at the beginning of the process.

$V_c= V_s e^{\frac{-t}{RC} }$

V_c= volatge across the capacitor

V_s= voltage supplied

t= time elapsed since the removal of supply voltage

RC= is the time constant of RC discharging circuit
