In the following figure C_1=5 μ F , C_2=C_3=10 μ F and =20 ~V ....
In the following figure , and . Initially the switch is connected to point until capacitor is fully charged. Afterwards switch is thrown to left side and connected to point . The charge on capacitor after equilibrium is reached will be 

Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
Given that, and When the switch is connected to point . Then, situation of the circuit is shown below. 
Charge stored in , Q=C_1 V_1=C_1 E=5 20 \mu 100 \mu When switch is connect to point , then situation circuit is shown below.
The charge will start to distribute through, and to make the potential difference across all the three capacitors and . Now, common potential difference, V=where, , but \therefore \quad V=4 Now, charge on $$
