The discharge of a capacitor is best described by which of the following statements?
  1. The initial discharge rate is exponentially greater than the discharge rate near T = ∞.
  2. The initial discharge rate is exponentially smaller than the discharge rate near T = ∞.
  3. The discharge rate is the same during the entirety of the time the capacitor is discharging.
  4. The discharge rate will linearly decrease as T approaches ∞.
  5. The discharge rate will linearly increase as T approaches ∞.
Explanation
Answer: A - The discharge of a capacitor follows an exponential curve, and the initial discharge rate is exponentially greater than the discharge rate near T = ∞.
