In a circuit shown in the figure, the capacitor C is initially uncharged and the key K is open. In this condition, a current of 1 A flows through the 1 Ω resistor. The key is closed at time t=t0. Which of the following statement(s) is(are) correct?
[Given : e–1=0.36]
From second branch, we can see the potential drop across the branch is 5+(1×1)=6 V.
Now for the first branch, we can write
15-IR=6 ...(1) and from third branch, we can write
I1×3=6
⇒I1=2 A
Now from Kirchoff's junction rule,
I=I1+1=3
Now, from equation(1), we can write
15-3R=6
⇒R=3Ω
All three branches are in parallel, therefore we can write equivalent resistance as:
1Req=13+13+1
⇒Req=35 Ω=0.6 Ω
As all branches are in parallel with the capacitor branch, potential drop across all three branches will be the same. Therefore,
Eeq=6 V.
Now, current variation in the circuit due to charging will be 6(35+3)e-(t-t0)CR
At, t=t0+7.2 μs, we get
i=6×518e-(7.2×10-6)(2×10-6)×(3.6)
=3018×e-1=3018×0.36
=0.6 A
At steady state, voltage across capacitor =6 V.
Q=6×2=12μC.
