In an LCR circuit as shown below both switches are open initially. Now switch S 1 is closed, S 2 kept open. ( q is charge on the capacitor and τ = RC  is capacitive time constant). Which of the following statement is correct?
  1. At t = 2 τ ,  q = CV  1 - e - 2
  2. At t = τ 2 ,  q = CV  1 - e -1
  3. Work done by the battery is half of the energy dissipated in the resistor
  4. At t = τ ,  q = CV / 2

Solution

q = CV 1 - e t / τ
 
At t = 2 τ

q = CV 1 - e - 2
