(c) Mention two information that you can get from these characteristics.
A circuit consisting of a capacitor $C$, a resistor of resistance $R$ and an ideal battery of emf $V$, as shown in figure is known as $R C$ series circuit.

As soon as the circuit is completed by closing key $S_1$ (keeping $S_2$ open) charges begin to flow between the
capacitor plates and the battery terminals. The charge on the capacitor increases and consequently the potential difference $V_c(=q / C)$ across the capacitor also increases with time. When this potential difference equals the potential difference across the battery, the capacitor is fully charged $(Q=V C)$. During this process of charging, the charge $q$ on the capacitor changes with time $t$ as $q=Q \left[1-e^{-t / R C}\right]$
The charging current can be obtained by differentiating it and using $\frac{d}{d x}\left(e^{m x}\right)=m e^{m x}$
Consider the case when $R=20 \mathrm{k} \Omega, C=500 \mu \mathrm{~F}$ and $V=10$ V.

(A) $5 \mu \mathrm{C}$
(B) 5 mC
(C) 25 mC
(D) 0.1 C
(ii) For sufficient time the key $S_1$ is closed and $S_2$ is open. Now key $S_2$ is closed and $S_1$ is open. What is the final charge on the capacitor?
(A) Zero

(C) 2.5 mC
(D) $5 \mu \mathrm{C}$
(iii) The dimensional formula for $R C$ is
(A) $\left[M L^2 T^{-3} A^{-2}\right]$
(B) $\left[M^0 L^0 T^{-1} A^0\right]$
(C) $\left[M^{-1} L^{-2} T^4 A^2\right]$
(D) $\left[M^0 L^0 T A^0\right]$
(iv) The key $S_1$ is closed and $S_2$ is open. The value of current in the resistor after 5 seconds, is
