Question
An initially uncharged capacitor C is connected in series with resistor R. This combination is then connected in series to a battery of emf V_0. Sufficient time elapses so that a steady state is reached. Which of the following statements is FALSE? The time constant is independent of V_0 The final charge on C is independent of R The final current in the circuit depends on the value of R The final voltage across R is zero The initial current (just after the battery was connected) is independent of CExplanation / Answer
Ans: C) The final current in the circuit depends on the value of R.
Truth is that the final current in the circuit dos not depend on R as the voltage across it will be zero.
