A capacitor is charged to a voltage of 400V and has a resistance of 20ohm. Calculate the final value of charging current.(a) 10A(b) 0A(c) Infinity(d) 20AI have been asked this question during an online interview.My doubt stems from Charging and Discharging Currents in division Capacitance and Capacitors of Basic Electrical Engineering

Answer»

The CORRECT ANSWER is (b) 0A

To explain: When the capacitor is charging, the final voltage of the capacitor becomes EQUAL to the voltage of source. HENCE, the current becomes equal to zero.
