JEE Advanced 2023 — Paper 1 — Question 19

In a circuit shown in the figure, the capacitor C is initially uncharged and the key K is open. In this condition, a current of 1 A flows through the 1Ω1 \Omega resistor. The key is closed at time t=t0t=t_{0}. Which of the following statement(s) is(are) correct? [Given: e−1=0.36\mathrm{e}^{-1}=0.36 ]

Question figure
  1. Option A:

    The value of the resistance of R is 3Ω3 \Omega

    Correct
  2. Option B:

    For t<t0t<t_{0}, the value of current I1I_{1} is 2A2 A

    Correct
  3. Option C:

    Att=t0+7.2μ s\mathrm{At} t=\mathrm{t}_{0}+7.2 \mu \mathrm{~s}, the current in the capacitor is 0.6 A

    Correct
  4. Option D:

    For t→∞\mathrm{t} \rightarrow \infty, the charge on the capacitor is 12μC12 \mu \mathrm{C}.

    Correct

Answer: A, B, C, D

Step-by-step solution

Ee=15R+031R+13=45R+3\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{e}}=\frac{\frac{15}{\mathrm{R}}+\frac{0}{3}}{\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}}+\frac{1}{3}}=\frac{45}{\mathrm{R}+3}

⇒i=45R+3−53RR+3+1\Rightarrow i=\frac{\frac{45}{\mathrm{R}+3}-5}{\frac{3 \mathrm{R}}{\mathrm{R}+3}+1}

1=30−5R4R+31=\frac{30-5 R}{4 R+3}

R=3ΩR=3 \Omega

VCD=5+1×1=6\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{CD}}=5+1 \times 1=6 Volt.

⇒i1=63A=2 A\Rightarrow \mathrm{i}_{1}=\frac{6}{3} A=2 \mathrm{~A}.

Ee=153+51+0313+11+13=6\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{e}}=\frac{\frac{15}{3}+\frac{5}{1}+\frac{0}{3}}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{1}+\frac{1}{3}}=6 Volts 1re=13+1+13=53\frac{1}{r_{e}}=\frac{1}{3}+1+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{5}{3}

⇒re=35Ω\Rightarrow \mathrm{r}_{\mathrm{e}}=\frac{3}{5} \Omega

As t→∞t \rightarrow \infty, charge on capacitor, q0=2×6=12μC\mathrm{q}_{0}=2 \times 6=12 \mu \mathrm{C}

Current through capacitor at time tt is, i=i0e−t−t07.2×10−6i=i_{0} e^{-\frac{t-t_{0}}{7.2 \times 10^{-6}}}

At t=t0+7.2μ s\mathrm{t}=\mathrm{t}_{0}+7.2 \mu \mathrm{~s}

i=6(35+3)[e−1]=0.6 A\mathrm{i}=\frac{6}{\left(\frac{3}{5}+3\right)}\left[\mathrm{e}^{-1}\right]=0.6 \mathrm{~A}
