Identify the valid statements relevant to the given circuit at the instant when the key is closed. [figure] Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- A, C Only
- C, D Only
- A, B, D Only
- B, C, D Only
Answer
(4) B, C, D Only
Solution
At the instant of closing, the uncharged capacitor has q=0, so VAB= qC=0: it acts like a wire.
[figure]
All 5 V falls across R: I= 5R is maximum in R and in the wires B true, A false
q=0 is minimum (D true) and VAB=0 is minimum (C true)
B, C and D
Answer: (4)
