    If the condenser shown in the circuit is charged  to 5 V and left in the circuit, in 12 s the charge on the condenser will become:

    A) \[\frac{10}{e}\text{coulomb}\]

    B)  \[\frac{{{e}^{2}}}{10}\text{coulomb}\]

    C)  \[\frac{10}{{{e}^{2}}}\text{coulomb}\]

    D)  \[\frac{e}{10}\text{coulomb}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Key Idea: Exponential decay of charge takes place. In a C-R circuit, discharging takes place. The q-t equation is \[q={{q}_{0}}{{e}^{-t/RC}}\] where R is resistance, C is capacitance and \[{{q}_{0}}=C{{V}_{0}}\] Hence,  \[q=C{{V}_{0}}{{e}^{-t/RC}}\] Given, \[{{V}_{0}}=5V,\,C=2F,t=12s,R=6\,\Omega \] \[\therefore \] \[q=2\times 5{{e}^{-12/6\times 2}}=\frac{10}{e}\text{coulomb}\]
