In an \(LCR \) circuit as shown below both switches are open initially. Now switch \(S_1\) is closed, \(S_2\) kept open. ( \(q\) is charge on the capacitor and \(\tau = RC\) is Capacitive time constant). Which of the following statement is correct?

Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) At \(t= \)\({2 \tau }\) ,\(q=CV\) \((1-e^{-2})\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Charge on he capacitor at any time \(t\) is given by
\(q=C V\left(1-e^{t / \tau}\right)\)
at \(t=2 \tau\)
\(q=C V\left(1-e^{-2}\right)\)
