Question

i) In an isolated system (neither connected to the terminal of a battery nor to any other source of charge e.g. each) net charge remains constant.
ii) From two terminal of a battery or from two plates of a capacitor equal and opposite charges enter or leave.
Question: Two capacitors of capacity 6 mu F and 3 mu F are charged to 100V and 50 Separately and connected as shown. Now all the three switches S subscript 1 end subscript S subscript 2 end subscript and S subscript 3 end subscript are closed.

Charges on both the capacitors in steady state will be : (on 6 mu F first ):

  1. 400 mu C comma 400 mu C    
  2. 700 mu C comma 250 mu C    
  3. 800 mu C comma 350 mu C    
  4. 300 mu C comma 250 mu C    

The correct answer is: 700 mu C comma 250 mu C
