A capacitor of capacitance C₁=10 F to charged using 9 ~V battery. It is then removed from the battery and connected to another capacitor C₂=20 F as shown in the figure. The charge on C₂ after equilibrium has reached is
Options
- A6.0 10⁻⁵ C
- B60 10⁻⁶ C
- C3.0 10⁻⁵ C
- D3.0 10⁻⁶ C
Correct answer
A. 6.0 10⁻⁵ C
Step-by-step solution
Given, aligned C₁ & =10 F & =10⁻⁵ ~F V₁ & =9 ~V aligned Charge on capacitor C₁ , aligned q₁ & =C₁ V₁ & =9 10⁻⁵ C C₂ & =20 F =2 10⁻⁵ ~F aligned when uncharged capacitor C₂ is connected with charged capacitor C₁ , then charges will flow from capacitor C₁ to C₂ till both gain the same potential i.e common potential. aligned & Common potential, V= total charge total capacitance & = q₁ C₁+C₂ = 9 10⁻⁵ 10⁻⁵+2 10⁻⁵ & = 9 10⁻⁵ 3 10⁻⁵ =3 ~V aligned Charge on capacitor C₂, q₂=C₂ V =2 10⁻⁵ 3=6 10⁻⁵ C
