Question
When a capacitor is fully charged, the current through the capacitor in a direct-current circuit is
zero
at its maximum value
equal to the current in a resistive circuit in parallel with the capacitor circuit
greater than the current in a resistor that is farther from the battery than the capacitor
zero if it is the only capacitor, but maximum if there is another capacitor in series with it
a.zero
b.at its maximum value
c.equal to the current in a resistive circuit in parallel with the capacitor circuit
d.greater than the current in a resistor that is farther from the battery than the capacitor
e.zero if it is the only capacitor, but maximum if there is another capacitor in series with it
Explanation / Answer
Answer is Zero
As Capacitor is connected to the DC Power Supply and Current flows through the circuit. Both Plates get the equal and opposite charges and an increasing Potential Difference, vc, is created while the Capacitor is charging. Once the Voltage at the terminals of the Capacitor, vc, is equal to the Power Supply Voltage, vc = V, the Capacitor is fully charged and the Current stops flowing through the circuit, the Charging Phase is over
