Question

Capacitor \(C_1\) of capacitance \(1\ μF\) and capacitor \(C_2\) of capacitance \(2\ μF\) are separately charged fully by a common battery. The two capacitors are then separately allowed to discharged through equal resistors at time \(t = 0\)

• A. the current in each of the two discharging circuits is zero at t=0
• B. the currents in the two discharging circuits at t = 0 are equal but non-zero
• C. the currents in the two discharging circuits at t = 0
• D. Capacitor \(C_1\) loses 40% of its initial charge sooner than \(C_2\) loses 40% of initial charge.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The correct option is (B): the currents in the two discharging circuits at t = 0 are equal but non-zero.
