In the given circuits a and b, switches S1 and S2 are closed at t=0 and kept close for a long time. The variation of currents in the two circuits for t0 are shown in the options. (Figures are schematic and not drawn to scale.)

Solution

In C-R series circuit,
q=q0 1-e-tτ
q=CE 1-e-tRC
 I=dqdt
=CERC+e-tRC
I=ER e-tRC
the urrent decays exponentially. In L-R series circuit,
I=I0(1-e-tτ)
I0=ER  
I=ER 1-e-RtL   
current grows exponentially.

 For C-R circuit,



For L-R circuit,
