← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a DC voltage is suddenly applied to a series RC circuit?
A)Capacitor resists initial current flow✓
B)Resistor voltage remains instantly constant
C)Capacitor instantly reaches full charge
D)Inductor opposes immediate current change
💡 Explanation
When a DC voltage is applied, the capacitor exhibits impedance to instantaneous voltage change because charge accumulation builds due to the properties of capacitance, impeding current initially. Therefore, the current flow is resisted, rather than reaching full charge instantly, remaining constant at resistor or change being opposed at inductor which would be the response to a DC applied voltage.
