Time Response of Reactive Circuits - Technical MCQs

Q1:

If the capacitor in an RC integrator shorts, the output

A is at ground

B would measure the same as the input

C would measure zero volts

D None of the above

ANS:A - is at ground

The output voltage is not taken from the resistor but at the capacitor therefore the answer should never/will never be B. Output is taken from a shorted capacitor therefore the answer could be A.
