An electrical circuit having combinations of resistances and capacitance is given below. The current, flowing through the circuit will be
The correct answer is 0.5 A.
Key Points
Given:
- For Direct Current (DC), V = 10 V
- When a capacitor is connected in a DC circuit and is fully charged, it acts as an open circuit, meaning no charge flows through the positive terminal of the capacitor.
- In an Alternating Current (AC) circuit, the capacitor charges and discharges continuously.
- Therefore, the capacitor will block Direct Current (DC), so R1 will have no effect in this circuit.
- Hence, resistors R2 and R3 will be in series combination.
- Equivalent resistance, R = R2 + R3
- R = 10 + 10 = 20 ohms
- We know that V = IR
- \(I = \frac{V}{R} = \frac{10}{20} = 0.5 A\)
Thus, the current in the circuit is 0.5 A.
