Question:

The charge on a capacitor plate in a circuit, as a function of time, is shown in the figure :

What is the value of current at t = 4 s ?

Show Hint

Current is the rate of flow of charge: \(I=\frac{dq}{dt}\) = slope of the q-t graph.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

\(I=\frac{dq}{dt}\) equals the slope of the q-t graph.
Between t = 2 s and t = 6 s the graph is horizontal at \(q=3\ \mu\)C, so the slope is zero.
At t = 4 s the current is zero.
