Solution

The correct option is B Time A
Initially when the voltage is applied, the charges will accumulate on the capacitor plates at a high rate. Then the rate of the charge will decrease with time as the capacitor builds charge. Thus, graph A will be the correct representation the charge on the capacitor as time passes.
