Network Elements and the Concept of Circuit

  1. The current in a 100 µF capacitor is shown below. If capacitor is initially uncharged, then the waveform for the voltage across it is—


Correct Option: D

Voltage across capacitor,

V =
1
ti dt
C0

=
1
2 × 10–310 × 10–3 dt
100 × 10–60

=
10 × 10–3 × 2 × 10–3
= .2 V
100 × 10–6

This 0.2 V is increases linearly from 0 to 0.2 V up to 2 ms. after that capacitor holds constant voltage i.e. 0.2 V.
Hence alternative (D) is the correct choice.
