    Initially the capacitor was uncharged. Current in the capacitor just after switching on will be?

    A) \[\frac{\varepsilon }{R}\]

    B) \[\frac{\varepsilon }{2R}\]

    C) \[\frac{\varepsilon }{5R}\]

    D) \[\frac{\varepsilon }{4R}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Just after switching, the capacitor will act like a conducting wire. So effective circuit will be
    By applying KVL at point \[P\frac{V-\varepsilon }{R}+\frac{V-\varepsilon }{R}+\frac{V}{2R}=0\]
    \[V=\frac{4\varepsilon }{5}\]
    So, current in the branch containing capacitor\[=\frac{\varepsilon }{5R}.\]
