A fresh dry cell of 1.5 volt and two resistors of 10 kΩ each are connected in series. An analog voltmeter measures a voltage of 0.5 volt across each of the resistors. A 100µF capacitor is fully charged using the same source. The same voltmeter is now used to measure the voltage across it. The initial value of the current and the time in which the voltmeter reading falls to 0.5 volt are respectively.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
