B

Q

C

R

D

S

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Charging point `I=E/Re^(-t/(RC))` ,Taking both sides, `log I=log(E/R)-t/(RC)`
Then R is doubled slope of curve decreases Also at t=0,the current will be less. Graph Q represents the best Hence ,the correct option is (B).
