In a circuit shown in the figure, the capacitor CC is initially uncharged and the key KK is open. In this condition, a current of 1A1A flows through the 1Ω1Ω resistor. The key is closed at time t=t0t = {t}_{0}. Which of the following statement(s) is(are) correct?

[Given : e–1=0.36{e}^{– 1} = 0 . 36]

In a circuit shown in the figure, the capacitor C is initially uncharged and the key K is open. In this condition, a

Options

  1. AThe value of the resistance RR is 3Ω3Ω
  2. BFor t<t0t < {t}_{0}, the value of current I1{I}_{1} is 2A2A
  3. CAt t=t0+7.2\must = {t}_{0} + 7 . 2\mus, the current in the capacitor is 0.6A0 . 6A
  4. DFor t→∞t \to \infty, the charge on the capacitor is 12\muC12\muC

Correct answer

A. The value of the resistance RR is 3Ω3Ω

Step-by-step solution

In a circuit shown in the figure, the capacitor C is initially uncharged and the key K is open. In this condition, a

From second branch, we can see the potential drop across the branch is 5+(1×1)=6V5 + \left(1 \times 1\right) = 6V.

Now for the first branch, we can write

15−IR=6...(1)15 - IR = 6 . . . \left(1\right) and from third branch, we can write

I1×3=6{I}_{1} \times 3 = 6

⇒I1=2A⇒ {I}_{1} = 2A

Now from Kirchoff's junction rule,

I=I1+1=3I = {I}_{1} + 1 = 3

Now, from equation(1), we can write

15−3R=615 - 3R = 6

⇒R=3Ω⇒ R = 3Ω

All three branches are in parallel, therefore we can write equivalent resistance as:

1Req=13+13+1\dfrac{1}{{R}_{eq}} = \dfrac{1}{3} + \dfrac{1}{3} + 1

⇒Req=35Ω=0.6Ω⇒ {R}_{eq} = \dfrac{3}{5}Ω = 0 . 6Ω

As all branches are in parallel with the capacitor branch, potential drop across all three branches will be the same. Therefore,

Eeq=6V{E}_{eq} = 6V.

In a circuit shown in the figure, the capacitor C is initially uncharged and the key K is open. In this condition, a

Now, current variation in the circuit due to charging will be 6(35+3)e−(t−t0)CR\dfrac{6}{\left(\dfrac{3}{5} + 3\right)}e\dfrac{- \left(t - {t}_{0}\right)}{CR}

At, t=t0+7.2μst = {t}_{0} + 7 . 2\mu s, we get

i=6×518e−(7.2×10−6)(2×10−6)×(3.6)i = \dfrac{6 \times 5}{18}{e}^{- \dfrac{\left(7 . 2 \times {10}^{- 6}\right)}{\left(2 \times {10}^{- 6}\right) \times \left(3 . 6\right)}}

=3018×e−1=3018×0.36= \dfrac{30}{18} \times {e}^{- 1} = \dfrac{30}{18} \times 0 . 36

=0.6A= 0 . 6A

At steady state, voltage across capacitor =6V= 6V.

Q=6×2=12\muCQ = 6 \times 2 = 12\muC.
