Options
- A3 13
- B3 19
- C3 17
- D3 22
Correct answer
D. 3 22
Step-by-step solution
Equivalent capacitance for three capacitors C ₁, C ₂ and . C ₃ ) in series is given by array l 1 C _ eq = 1 C ₁ + 1 C ₂ + 1 C ₃ = C ₂ C ₃+ C ₃ C ₁+ C _ C C ₂ C _ C C C ₃ C _ eq = C ₁ C ₂ C ₃ C ₁ C ₂+ C ₂ C ₃+ C ₃ C ₁ C _ eq = C (2 C )(3 C ) C (2 C )+(2 C )(3 C )+(3 C ) C = 6 11 C array Charge on capacitors ( C ₁, C ₂ & C ₃ ) in series = C _ eq V = 6 C 11 v Charge on capacitor C ₄= C ₄ ~V =4 CV Charge onC ₂ Charge onC ₄ = 6 C 11 ~V 4 CV = 6 11 1 4 = 3 22
