Correct answer: 2
- Initial voltage across the capacitor
The capacitor has and initial charge so its initial potential difference is
- Current at the instant the key is closed
At , the capacitor behaves like a source of emf equal to its initial voltage .
From the figure, the resistor is directly across the capacitor at the moment of closing, so the current through it is
Thus,
So,
- Comparison with stored answer
Derived answer:
Stored correct answer:
Hence, the derived answer agrees with the stored answer.
