In an LCR\text{LCR}LCR circuit as shown below both switches are open initially. Now switch S1{\text{S}}_{1}S1​ is closed, S2{\text{S}}_{2}S2​ kept open. (q\text{q}q is charge on the capacitor and τ=RC\tau = \text{RC}τ=RC is capacitive time constant). Which of the following statement is correct?

Options

  1. A

    At t=2τ, q=CV (1−e−2)\text{t} = 2 \tau \text{, q} = \text{CV } ( 1 - {\text{e}}^{ - 2 } )t=2τ, q=CV (1−e−2)

  2. B

    At t=τ2, q=CV (1−e−1)\text{t} = \frac{ \tau }{ 2 } \text{, q} = \text{CV } ( 1 - {\text{e}}^{-1} )t=2τ​, q=CV (1−e−1)

  3. C

    Work done by the battery is half of the energy dissipated in the resistor

  4. D

    At t=τ, q=CV/2\text{At t} = \tau \text{, q} = \text{CV} / 2At t=τ, q=CV/2
