The capacitor $C$ is initially uncharged. Switch $S_1$ is closed for a long time while $S_2$ remains open. Now at $t = 0$, $S_2$ is closed while $S_1$ is opened. All the batteries are ideal and connecting wires are resistanceless. Find the $\text{INCORRECT}$ statement.

  • A
    At time $t = 0$ (just after $S_2$ is closed), the reading of the ammeter is $\frac{E}{5R}$.
  • B
    At time $t = 0$ (just after $S_2$ is closed), the reading of the ammeter is zero.
  • C
    Heat developed till time $t = 5RC \ln 2$ in resistance $3R$ is $\frac{9}{40}CE^2$.
  • D
    After time $t > 0$, the charge on the capacitor follows the equation $CE e^{-t/5RC}$.
