Question

A battery of emf V volts, resistance R1 & R2, a condenser C and switches S1 and S2 are connected in a circuit as shown in figure. The capacitor C gets fully charged to V volts when:

• A. S1 & S2 are both closed.
• B. S1 & S2 are both open.
• C. S1 closed and S2 open.
• D. S2 closed & S1 open.

Answer 1

The correct option is C S1 closed and S2 open.

The capacitor $C$ gets fully charged to $V$ volts when $S_1$ is closed but $S_2$ is open. When $S_1$ will be closed the capacitor will get connected in series with the circuit.
