Q117 / 155 · WBJEE 2018 · Physics

What will be current through the $200 \Omega$ resistor in the given circuit, a long time after the switch $K$ is made on? Figure

  • A
    Zero
  • B
    $100 \mathrm{mA}$
  • Correct answer
    C
    $10 \mathrm{mA}$
  • D
    $1 \mathrm{mA}$

Solution

In steady state, arm having capacitors does not flow current. So, we can neglect them. $\therefore$ The given circuit reduces to Figure $$ R_{\text {net }}=200+400=600 \Omega $$ $\therefore$ Current in circuit, $$ \begin{aligned} I=\frac{V}{R} &=\frac{6}{600}=0.01 \mathrm{A} \\ &=10 \mathrm{mA} \end{aligned} $$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
