Question

An initially uncharged capacitor C is connected in series with resistor R. This combination is then connected to a battery of emf V_0. Sufficient time elapses so that a steady state is reached. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A) The time constant is independent of V_0 B) The final charge on C is independent of R C) The total energy dissipated by R is independent of R D) The total energy dissipated by R is independent of V_0 E) The initial current (just after battery was connected) is independent of C

Explanation / Answer

10) (c) The total energy dissipated by R is independent of R is not True It is a False Statements
