PHY 102 Capacitors and Capacitance Objective Question

Question

What is the voltage across a capacitor after a long time (in steady state) in an RC charging circuit?
Options
A 0 V
B Battery voltage V₀
Correct Answer
C V₀/2
D V₀ × R
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

After a long time (t >> RC), the capacitor is fully charged and acts as an open circuit, so V_C = V₀.

Hint

Fully charged to battery voltage.
