Q1: As a capacitor is being charged, current flowing into the capacitor will:A increase
B decrease
C remain the same
D cannot tell
ANS:B - decrease The capacitor does not operate based on ohm's law. Capacitors are non-linear devices which means that Voltage and current are not linearly proportional to each other. At t=0 assuming a dc source, i.e. battery is connected to a capacitor, the capacitor will act as a short therefore Vc = 0 and I = maximum. As the charge builds up on the capacitor plates, the voltage difference between the capacitor plates increases (hence Vc increases), so the voltage difference between either terminal of the battery and the plate it is connected to decreases. |
