In the circuit shown in figure, the capacitors are initially uncharged. The current through resistor PQ just after closing the switch is

A

`2A` from `P` to `Q`

B

`2A` from `Q` to `P`

C

`6A` from `P` to `Q`

D

zero

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
At `t=0` when capacitors are initially uncharged, their equivalent resistance is zero. Hence, whole current passes throug these capacitors.
