Answer:

Some current is lost.

Step-by-step explanation:

Change occur in the current when the circuit was initially closed because in a closed circuit the current moves from the start towards the end of the circuit through various resistors. There is heat produced in the wire when the current flows through the circuit. Due to this heat, some of the current is lost during on his own way. Capacitor is a device used to store an electric charge, having of one or more pairs of conductors separated by an insulator. while on the other hand, electric current is a stream of charged particles, such as electrons moving through conductor or space.
