Question

Let C be the capacitance of a capacitor discharging through a resistor R. Suppose t₁ is the time taken for the energy stored in the capacitor to reduce to half its initial value and t₂ is the time taken for the charge to reduce to one-fourth its initial value. Then the ratio t₁/t₂ will be
(a) 2 

(b) 1 

(c) 1/2

(d) 1/4

Answer 1

(d) : During discharging of capacitor through a resistor,
