Capacitor question

2021 · 18 Mar · Shift 1 · Q63

JEE MainPhysicsCapacitorNumerical+4 / −1
The circuit shown in the figure consists of a charged capacitor of capacity 3 μ\muμ F and a charge of μ\muμ C. At time t = 0, when the key is closed, the value of current flowing through the 5 M Ω\OmegaΩ resistor is 'x'μ\muμ-A. The value of 'x to the nearest integer is ‾\underline{\hspace{2cm}}​.

Correct answer: 2

  1. Initial voltage across the capacitor

The capacitor has C=3 μFC = 3\,\mu FC=3μF and initial charge Q=30 μCQ = 30\,\mu CQ=30μC so its initial potential difference is V0=QC=30 μC3 μF=10 V.V_0 = \frac{Q}{C} = \frac{30\,\mu C}{3\,\mu F} = 10\,V.V0​=CQ​=3μF30μC​=10V.

  1. Current at the instant the key is closed

At t=0+t=0^+t=0+, the capacitor behaves like a source of emf equal to its initial voltage 10 V10\,V10V.

From the figure, the 5 MΩ5\,M\Omega5MΩ resistor is directly across the capacitor at the moment of closing, so the current through it is I=V0R=105×106 A.I = \frac{V_0}{R} = \frac{10}{5\times 10^6} \text{ A}.I=RV0​​=5×10610​ A.

Thus, I=2×10−6 A=2 μA.I = 2\times 10^{-6}\,A = 2\,\mu A.I=2×10−6A=2μA.

So, x=2.x = 2.x=2.

  1. Comparison with stored answer

Derived answer: 222

Stored correct answer: 222

Hence, the derived answer agrees with the stored answer.
