Which of the following is true when charging a capacitor using a DC source?     Current will flow due to the DC source and will charge the capacitor. Once the capacitor is fully charged, it has to be removed from the circuit it will not exceed the voltage of the source to avoid short-circuiting.     Since capacitors behave as open circuits when a DC source is applied, there will be no charging current. The charging will happen due to KVL where the voltage of the source will be charged to the capacitor.     Current will flow due to the DC source and will charge the capacitor. Once the capacitor is fully charged, it will act as if it is an open circuit.     The answer cannot be found on the other choices.
