Combination of Capacitors

In the given circuit, the charge on 4 μ\muF capacitor will be:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. The 11 and 5 μF5\ \mu\text{F} are in parallel: 6 μF6\ \mu\text{F}; in series with 4 μF4\ \mu\text{F}: 4×610=2.4 μF\frac{4\times 6}{10} = 2.4\ \mu\text{F}.
  2. This branch is directly across 10 V (the 3 μF3\ \mu\text{F} is a separate parallel branch).
  3. Branch charge =2.4×10=24 μC= 2.4\times 10 = 24\ \mu\text{C}, which is the charge on the 4 μF4\ \mu\text{F}.
  4. So the answer is (d) 24 μ\muC.
