Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. The 2 μF2\ \mu\text{F} capacitor's ends are wired straight to the battery terminals, so it has 2 V2\ \text{V}: q=2×2=4 μCq = 2\times2 = 4\ \mu\text{C}.
  2. The two 4 μF4\ \mu\text{F} are in series across the same 2 V2\ \text{V}: Cs=2 μFC_s = 2\ \mu\text{F}, q=2×2=4 μCq = 2\times2 = 4\ \mu\text{C} on each.
  3. So the answer is (d) 4,44, 4.
