Capacitors in DC Circuits & RC

A capacitor of 50 μ\muF is connected in a circuit as shown in figure. The charge on the upper plate of the capacitor is ______________μ\muC.

Figure

Numerical answer type. Work it out, then open the answer.

Show answer and solution

Answer: 100

  1. Steady state: capacitor draws no current; three 2 kΩ2\ \text{k}\Omega in series share 6 V, 2 V each.
  2. Capacitor is across the bottom 2 kΩ2\ \text{k}\Omega: V=2 VV = 2\text{ V}, upper plate at the higher potential.
  3. Q=50×2=100 μCQ = 50\times2 = 100\ \mu\text{C} (positive on the upper plate).
