$A$ charged capacitor is allowed to discharge through a resistor by closing the key at the instant $t = 0$. At the instant $t = (\ln 4) \, \mu s$,the reading of the ammeter falls to half the initial value. The resistance of the ammeter is equal to

  • A
    $1 \, M\Omega$
  • B
    $1 \, \Omega$
  • C
    $2 \, \Omega$
  • D
    $2 \, M\Omega$

View Solution

Let $C$ be the capacitance of a capacitor discharging through a resistor $R$. Suppose $t_{1}$ is the time taken for the energy stored in the capacitor to reduce to half its initial value and $t_{2}$ is the time taken for the charge to reduce to one-fourth its initial value. Then the ratio $t_{1} / t_{2}$ will be
