Question

The circuit pictured below shows a battery, a resistor, and an uncharged capacitor with labeled values of voltage, resistance, and capacitance. The circuit also includes a switch, which can be opened (as pictured) or closed.
What is the value of the current in the circuit a very long time after the switch is closed?

Solution

The correct option is D No current flow (0A)
After the switch has been closed for a long time, the capacitor gets gully charged and hence no current flows through the capacitor.
Net current flowing through the circuit after very long time is zero i.e 0 A
