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
