  1. In the series Rc circuit shown in the figure, the voltage across C starts increasing when the d.c. source is switched on. The rate of increase of voltage across C at the instant just after the switch is closed (i.e. at t = 0+) will be

    1. zero
    2. infinity
    3. RC
    4. 1
      RC
Correct Option: D

Voltage across the capacitor at any time t, Vc = V (l – e– t / RC)
= l – e– t / RC ... (since V = 1 volt)

dVc
=
1
e– t / RC
dtRC

At t = 0+ ,
dVc
=
1
dtRC
