  1. Question 1

    Q1. A circuit contains a battery, a resistor, and a capacitor. What happens when the capacitor is fully charged?

    • A) The current increases due to the applied voltage
    • B) The current decreases due to the high resistance
    • C) The current remains the same due to the battery's voltage
    • D) The current is zero due to the capacitor's stored charge

    Answer: The current is zero due to the capacitor's stored charge

    Explanation: The capacitor stores charge, causing the current to be zero when fully charged.
