When a current source I is suddenly connected across a two terminal relaxed RC circuit at time t = 0, the voltage across the current source is shown in figure. The RC circuit is
Options
A. a series combination of R and C
B. a parallel combination of R and C
C. a series combination of R and parallel combination of R and C
D. a pure capacitor
Correct Answer
a series combination of R and parallel combination of R and C
Explanation
Initially capacitor behaves as short-circuit and finally as open circuit.
Voltage across a capacitor cannot change instantaneously.
10. A two branch parallel circuit has a 20 ? resistance and 1 H inductance in one branch and a 100 ?F capacitor in the second branch. It is fed from 100 V ac supply, at resonance, the input impedance of the circuit is
