Practicing Success
Two resistances of same value, one capacitor and one micro ammeter is connected to a 5V battery of negligible internal resistance and a switch (s) as shown in the figure. When the switch is closed the micro ammeter shows a reading of 20 $\mu A$. The value of R is |
$250 \, kΩ$ $250 \, Ω$ $25 \, kΩ$ $250 \, MΩ$ |
$250 \, kΩ$ |
The correct answer is option (1) : $250 \, kΩ$ At the time switch is closed capacitor behaves like a closed switch $⇒\frac{5}{R}=20\times 10^{-6}$ $⇒R=250 \, kΩ$ |
