Question

A capacitor has a capacitance of 4.0 uF and is charged through a resistor of resistance 2.5 MOhm from a 100 V supply. Calculate the maximum value of the charging current and the charge stored by the capacitor when fully charged.
Options
A 4 uA, 40 uC
B 40 uA, 400 uC
Correct Answer
C 40 uA, 40 uC
D 4.0 uA, 4.0 uC
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Imax=V/R=100/2.5e6=40uA. Q=CV=4e-6x100=400uC.

Hint

Imax=V/R=100/2.5e6=40uA.
