    In the following circuit, the switch S is closed at\[t=0\].The charge on the capacitor\[{{C}_{1}}\]as a function of time will be given by \[\left( {{C}_{eq}}=\frac{{{C}_{1}}{{C}_{2}}}{{{C}_{1}}+{{C}_{2}}} \right).\]  [JEE Main 16-4-2018]

    A) \[{{C}_{eq}}E[1-\exp (-t/R{{C}_{eq}})]\]

    B)   \[{{C}_{1}}E[1-\exp (-tR/{{C}_{1}})]\]

    C) \[{{C}_{2}}E[1-\exp (-t/R{{C}_{2}})]\] 

    D) \[{{C}_{eq}}E\exp (-t/R{{C}_{eq}})\] 

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     the formula for charge varying with time in charging capacitor is                 \[Q=E\times {{C}_{eq}}(1-\exp (\frac{-t}{R\times {{c}_{eq}}}))\] as the equivalent capacitor is given in the question. So the correct option which matches is A.
