In the circuit shown below, the key is pressed at time t = 0. Which of the following statement(s) is(are) true?

  1. A The voltmeter displays -5V as soon as the key is pressed, and displays +5V after a long time
  2. B The voltmeter will display 0 V at time t = ln 2 seconds
  3. C The current in the ammeter becomes 1/e of the initial value after 1 second
  4. D The current in the ammeter becomes zero after a long time
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

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

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(i) At t = 0, capacitor acts as short - circuit
The the reading of voltmeter will be -5 V
At t, capacitor acts as open circuit and no current flows through voltmeter.

If it is ideal voltmeter then its resistance is infinite & therefore it will read +5V
(ii)
