• A)The capacitor charges to its maximum value in one time constant.
• B)The capacitor charges to its maximum value in two time constants.
• C)The potential difference across the resistor is always equal to the potential difference across the capacitor.
• D)Current flows through the circuit even after the capacitor is essentially fully charged.
• E)Once the capacitor is essentially fully charged,there is no current in the circuit.
