Question

A resistor, capacitor, and switch are all connected in series to an ideal battery of constant terminal voltage. Initially, the switch is open and the capacitor is uncharged. What is the voltage across the resistor and the capacitor at the moment the switch is closed

Answer 1

Answer:

The voltage across the resistor is zero, and the voltage across the capacitor is equal to the terminal voltage of the battery.

Explanation:

This is because when a capacitor is charged no current or voltage flows through it so it will have a voltage equal to the terminal voltage of the battery
