Question

The steady state current in the circuit shown below is :

• A. 0.67 A
• B. 1.5 A
• C. 2 A
• D. 1 A

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

At steady state, the capacitor behaves as an open circuit with infinite resistance, rendering the 5 $\Omega$ resistor irrelevant to the circuit. The simplified circuit is depicted below:

The total resistance is calculated as 2 $\Omega$ + 3 $\Omega$ = 5 $\Omega$. Applying Ohm's law (I = V/R), the current is determined to be $\frac{10 \, V}{5 \, \Omega} = 2 \, A$.
