Voltage Across C During ChargingMediumQuestion 31550

Question

In an RC series circuit (E=12V, R=1kΩ, C=100μF) at t=0 (switch just closed), voltage across capacitor is:
  1. A
    12 V
  2. B
    0 V
    Correct
  3. C
    6 V
  4. D
    4.4 V

Correct answer

0 V

Explanation

Initially uncharged capacitor acts like a short circuit — all voltage drops across R. V_C(0) = 0 V.
