Question

Two circuits are pictured below. At the beginning, neither circuit has any current flowing. At a certain instant, the switch in the circuit on the left is closed, causing current to flow in the direction shown by the arrow.
What happens in the circuit on the right when the switch is closed?

• A. Current flows to the right through the pictured resistor and continues to flow in the circuit on the right as long as the current in the circuit on the left keeps flowing
• B. Current flows to the right through the pictured resistor, but only at the instant the switch is closed
• C. Current flows to the left through the pictured resistor and continues to flow in the circuit on the right as long as the current in the circuit on the left keeps flowing
• D. Current flows to the left through the pictured resistor, but only at the instant the switch is closed
• E. No current flows in the circuit on the right

Answer 1

The correct option is D Current flows to the left through the pictured resistor, but only at the instant the switch is closed
