An RC circuit is connected across an ideal DC voltage source through an open switch. The switch is closed at time t = 0 s. Which of the following statements regarding the circuit are correct?
a) The capacitor charges to its maximum value in one time constant and the current is zero at that time.
b) The potential difference across the resistor and the potential difference across the capacitor are always equal.
c) The potential difference across the resistor is always greater than the potential difference across the capacitor.
d) The potential difference across the capacitor is always greater than the potential difference across the resistor
e) Once the capacitor is essentially fully charged, There is no appreciable current in the circuit.

In an RC series circuit, at any time, the sum of the voltages through the resistor and the capacitor must be constant and equal to the voltage of the DC voltage source, in order to be compliant with KVL.

At= 0, as the voltage through the capacitor can't change instantaneously, all the voltage appears through the resistor, which means that a current flows, that begins to charge the capacitor, up to a point that the voltage through the capacitor is exactly equal to the DC voltage, so no current flows in the circuit anymore, and the charge in the capacitor reaches to its maximum value.
