In the adjoining circuit, the capacitor is initially uncharged. The current through the resistor AB immediately after the key K is pressed is __________ mA.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
2
When a capacitor is uncharged, the potential difference across it must be zero. So, no current can flow initially through the resistance connected in parallel with the capacitor
`i=(2)/(1000)=0.02A=2mA`
