A capacitor of capacitance 'C' is being ...

A capacitor of capacitance 'C' is being charged by connecting it across a dc source along with an ammeter. Will the ammeter show a momentary deflection during the process of charging? If so, how would you explain this momentary deflection and the resulting continuity of current in the circuit? Write the expression for the current inside the capacitor.

To solve the question step by step, we will analyze the charging process of a capacitor connected to a DC source and the behavior of the ammeter in the circuit. ### Step 1: Understanding the Charging Process When a capacitor of capacitance 'C' is connected to a DC voltage source, it starts to charge. The voltage across the capacitor increases as it accumulates charge. **Hint:** Recall that a capacitor stores energy in the form of an electric field when it is charged. ### Step 2: Current Flow During Charging ...
