Capacitor C1 of capacitance 1 micro-farad and capacitor C2 of capacitance 2 microfarad are separately charged fully by a common battery. The two capacitors are then separately allowed to discharge through equal resistors at time t = 0 .
  1. The current in each of the two discharging circuits is zero at t = 0 .
  2. The currents in the two discharging circuits are equal but not zero.
  3. The currents in the two discharging circuits at
    t = 0 are unequal.
  4. Capacitor C1, loses 50% of its initial charge sooner than C2 loses 50% of its initial charge.

Answer

(B) The currents in the two discharging circuits are equal but not zero.
