A series R-C circuit consists of resistor of 10 and capacitor of 0.1F as shown in the figure. A constant voltage of 20V is applied to the circuit at t = 0. What is the current in the circuit at t = 0?(a) 1(b) 2(c) 3(d) 4I have been asked this question in class test.My question is from DC Response of an R-C Circuit in portion Transients of Network Theory

Answer»

The correct answer is (b) 2

For EXPLANATION I would SAY: At t = 0, switch S is CLOSED. Since the capacitor does not ALLOW sudden changes in voltage, the current in the circuit is i = V/R = 20/10 = 2A. At t = 0, i = 2A.
