A 10-V-emf battery is connected in series with the following: a 2-F capacitor, a 2- resistor, an ammeter, and a switch, initially open; a voltmeter is connected in parallel across the capacitor. After the switch has been closed for a relatively long period (several seconds, say), what are the current and capacitor voltage readings, respectively?

a.
zero A, 10 V

b.
zero A, zero V

c.
5 A, zero V

d.
5 A, 10 V
