A battery of e.m.f. V volts, resistors R1 and R2, a condenser C and switches S1 and S2 are connected in the circuit as shown in the figure below :

The condenser will get fully charged to V volts when -

A

S1 and S2 are both closed

B

S1 and S2 are both open

C

S1 is open and S2 is closed

D

S1 is closed and S2 is open

Answer

S1 is closed and S2 is open

Explanation

Solution

S1 (closed) charges the capacitor

S2 (closed) discharges the capacitor

∴ To charge the capacitor

S1 → closed, S2 → opened
