Question

When a capacitor is connected to a battery________

• A. An alternating current flow in the circuit.
• B. No current flows in the circuit.
• C. A current flow for some time and finally it decreases to zero.
• D. Current keeps on increasing and reaches maximum after some time.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

When a capacitor is connected to a batter (DC source), then it is impossible to flow a steady current but a transient current flows through the capacitors plates, i.e. current flow for sometime and finally it decreases to zero.
