  The charged current weak production of $\Delta (1232)$ from the free proton
target induced by the electron/positron in the intermediate energy range
corresponding to the beam energy available at JLab and Mainz, has been studied.
The results for the differential scattering cross section
$\frac{d\sigma}{dQ^2}$, the angular distribution
$\frac{d\sigma}{d\Omega_{\Delta}}$, and the total scattering cross section
$\sigma(E_e)$ for both the electron and positron induced processes are
presented, for the various energies in the range of 0.5--4~GeV. The cross
section $\sigma(E_e)$ is found to be of the order of $10^{-39}$~cm$^{2}$ for
the electron/positron energies in the few GeV range. The availability of
electron/positron beams having well defined energy and direction with very high
luminosity of the order of $10^{38}-10^{39}$~cm$^{-2}$~sec$^{-1}$, makes it
possible to observe the weak charged current production of $\Delta(1232)$ and
determine the axial vector form factors $C_{i}^{A} (Q^2);~(i=3-5)$. The
sensitivity of the differential cross section $\frac{d\sigma}{dQ^2}$ to the
subdominant form factors $C_{3}^{A}(Q^2)$ and $C_{4}^{A} (Q^2)$ is found to be
strong enough, especially in the low $Q^2$ region, which can be used to
determine them phenomenologically and to test the various theoretical models
proposed to calculate them.
