Take CBT

Question

In a series RC circuit with a battery, what happens to the current as the capacitor charges?
Options
A It increases exponentially
B It decreases exponentially
Correct Answer
C It remains constant
D It oscillates
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

When charging, current starts at its maximum (I₀ = V/R) and decreases exponentially to zero as the capacitor reaches full charge.

Hint

Current drops as capacitor charges.
