Capacitors in DC Circuits & RC

In the network shown below, the charge accumulated in the capacitor in steady state will be:

Figure

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Steady state: no current in the capacitor branch, so I=34+6=0.3 AI = \dfrac{3}{4+6} = 0.3\text{ A} through the bottom 6 Ω6\ \Omega.
  2. Capacitor branch is across that 6 Ω6\ \Omega: VC=0.3×6=1.8 VV_C = 0.3\times6 = 1.8\text{ V}
  3. Q=CV=4×1.8=7.2 μCQ = CV = 4\times1.8 = 7.2\ \mu\text{C}
  4. So the answer is (b) 7.2 μC7.2\ \mu\text{C}.
