C A, B, D only
D B, C, D only
Solution:
Initially, when the key in the circuit is closed, the capacitor behaves like a
short circuit. This means:
Maximum Current: The current flowing through the circuit will be at its
maximum since there is effectively no resistance offered by the capacitor, as it
behaves like a wire.
Current Through R: Since the current is flowing through the circuit, including
any resistors in series, the statement that there is no current through resistor
R is incorrect.
Charge on the Capacitor: The charge stored on the capacitor plates is initially
zero because it behaves as a short circuit.
Potential Difference: The potential difference across the capacitor is also zero
at this instant because it is fully discharged.
Therefore, the valid statements at this instant are that the current in the
circuit is at a maximum, the charge on the capacitor is zero, and the potential
difference across the capacitor is zero.
