Physics · Capacitors and R-C Circuits

JEE Main 2026 — 5 April, Evening Shift — Question 12

Under steady state condition the potential difference across the capacitor in the circuit is V.

Option A:
0.5
Correct
Option B:
1.5
Option C:
0
Option D:
2

Answer: A

Step-by-step solution

Current $i = 2/(6+2) = 1/4$ A. Voltage across 2Ω resistor = $i\times2 = 0.5$ V. In steady state, capacitor voltage equals voltage across parallel resistor = 0.5 V.
