In the circuit shown in the figure, the switch `S` is initially open and the capacitor is initially uncharged. `I_(1),I_(2)` and `I_(3)` represent the current in the resistance `2Omega, 4Omega` and `8Omega` respectively.

A

Just after the switch `S` is closed,
`I_(1) =3A,I_(2) =3A`and `I_(3) = 0`

B

Just after the switch `S` is closed,
`I_(1) =3A,I_(2) =0`and `I_(3) = 0`

C

long time after the switch `S` is closed,
`I_(1) = 0.6A, I_(2) =0` and `I_(3) = 0`

D

long after the switch `S` is closed,
`I_(1) =I_(2) = I_(3) = 0.6A`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
at `t = 0` means just after the switch is closed capacitor acts as short circuit.

After long time capacitor acts as opne circuit.

`I_(1) = I_(3) = 0.6`
