Determine the charge on the capacitor depicted in the accompanying figure.

Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
In steady state, the capacitor acts as an open circuit. The current flows only through the series combination of the resistors.
The equivalent resistance of the circuit is:
The current in the circuit is:
The voltage across the capacitor is equal to the potential difference across the resistor:
The charge on the capacitor is:
