Electric circuits miscellaneous

  1. In the circuit shown in the given, the switch S is open for a long time and closed at t = 0.

    The value I at t = 0+ is
    1. – 6A
    2. – 3/2 A
    3. 3 A
    4. 9/2 A
Correct Option: A

Voltage across capacitor prior to closing of switch

= 6 ×
4
= 12 V
2

Immediately after closing of the switch S, the source current is all diverted into the ‘short’
and capacitor furnishes a current of
12
= 6 A in the 2-ohm resistor.
2

The direction is opposite to the marked one.
∴ I = – 6A.
