a

The current in the ammeter becomes 1/e of the initial value after 1 second

b

The voltmeter display -5V as soon as the key is pressed, and displays +5V after a long time

c

The current in the ammeter becomes zero after a long time

d

The voltmeter will display 0 V at time t=ln 2 seconds

answer is A, B, C, D.

(A) At t=0, capacitor acts as short-circuit
Question Image
At t→∞, capacitor acts as open circuit & no current flows through voltmeter
 

Question Image


qx=2CV1et/2CR       X=VRet/2CR qy=CV(1et/2CR)         Y=V2Ret/2CR ΔV=y2R+qx2C =V12et/2CR=0 (C)  τ=1sec
So by i=i0et/τ current at t = 1 sec is=i0/e
D) After long time no current flows since both capacitor & voltmeter do not allow it.
