Two capacitors C1 and C2 (C1 gt C2) are ...

Two capacitors `C_1 and C_2 (C_1 gt C_2)` are charged separtately to same potential. Now they are allowed to discharge through similar resistors. Initial rate of discharging will be

A

more for `C_1`

B

more for `C_2`

C

same for both

D

cannot say

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Initial rate of discharging means initial current which is equal
to `V//R` where V is initial potential. Here V and R are the same for both.
