A rectangular voltage pulse of magnitude V and duration T is applied to a series combination of resistance R and capacitance C. The maximum voltage developed across the capacitor is:


v

Explanation:
The rectangular pulse would be applied to series RC circuit as shown below,

During the interval 0 < t < T
Supply Voltage v(t) = V
The equation of capacitor voltage can be determined on the basis of standard charging RC circuit.

At t = T,

For the interval t > T, v(t) = 0
So, the circuit behaves as discharging RC Circuit.

Thus, the voltage exponentially decays after t=T and hence maximum voltage occurs at t = T.
