Which outcome occurs when a DC voltage is suddenly applied to a series RC circuit?

💡 Explanation

When a DC voltage is applied, the capacitor exhibits impedance to instantaneous voltage change because charge accumulation builds due to the properties of capacitance, impeding current initially. Therefore, the current flow is resisted, rather than reaching full charge instantly, remaining constant at resistor or change being opposed at inductor which would be the response to a DC applied voltage.
