Question

In the circuit shown here C subscript 1 end subscript equals 6 mu F comma   C subscript 2 end subscript equals 3 mu Fand batteryB equals 20 V. The switch S subscript 1 end subscript is first closed. It is then opened and afterwards S subscript 2 end subscript is closed. What is the charge finally on C subscript 2 end subscript

  1. 120 mu C    
  2. 80 mu C    
  3. 40 mu C    
  4. 20 mu C    

The correct answer is: 40 mu C


    Common potential V equals fraction numerator 6 cross times 20 plus 3 cross times 0 over denominator left parenthesis 6 plus 3 right parenthesis end fraction equals fraction numerator 120 over denominator 9 end fraction V o l t
    So, charge on 3 mu F capacitor
    Q subscript 2 end subscript equals 3 cross times 1 0 to the power of negative 6 end exponent cross times fraction numerator 120 over denominator 9 end fraction equals 40 mu C
