57. A charging RC circuit consists of a battery with emf ε, a resistor R, and two capacitors C1 and C2 as shown in Fig. 11. The two capacitors are identical when there are no dielectrics inserted (that is C1 = C2= when placed in vacuum). In order to increase the capacitance, we place a dielectric material of the dielectric constant x in C2. At t = 0, there are no charges in capacitors, and we close the switch to charge these capacitors. Which of the following statements is correct?
(A) The charging percentage (
) of these two capacitors would be the same at all times. (B) The maximum charges stored in these two capacitors would be the same. (C) The charging time would reduce if a larger resistor is used. (D) The charging time would reduce if a battery with a larger enf is used. (E) As more and more charges are stored in the capacitors, we expect the current flowing through the resistor is getting larger and larger.
