The charge on (4 F ) capacitor, in the given circuit is
Options
- A(24 C )
- B(100 C )
- C(2.4 C )
- D(30 C )
Correct answer
A. (24 C )
Step-by-step solution
The circuit can be redrawn as, (C_ cq = 4 6 4+6 =2.4 F ) As we know, potential drop across parallel branch (A B ) is (V_ A B =10 ~V ) So, charge (Q=C_ eq V=2.4 10 10⁻⁶ C ) (Q=24 C ) Since, in a series capacitor branch, there is equal storage of charge in each capacitor. So, (4 F ) capacitor store a charge of (24 C ). Hence, the correct option is (a).
