In the circuit shown in the diagram,the capacitances of the capacitors $C_1$,$C_2$,and $C_3$ are $4\ \mu F$,$6\ \mu F$,and $12\ \mu F$ respectively. The switch $S$ remains closed for a long time. When the switch $S$ is opened,which of the following statements will be correct about the current flowing through the battery $B$?

  • A
    $A$ finite and constant current will flow
  • B
    $A$ finite current will flow initially that will decrease exponentially with time
  • C
    No current will flow
  • D
    Information is insufficient to predict
