A galvanometer (G) of 2Ω resistance is connected in the given circuit. The ratio of charge stored in C _ 1 and C _ 2 is:

Options

  1. A23\dfrac{2}{3}
  2. B32\dfrac{3}{2}
  3. C11
  4. D12\dfrac{1}{2}

Correct answer

D. 12\dfrac{1}{2}

Step-by-step solution

A galvanometer (G) of 2Ω resistance is connected in the given circuit. The ratio of charge stored in C _ 1 and C _ 2 is:

In steady state:

 Req=12Ω{R}_{eq} = 12Ω

Current through the branches with resistance, I=612=0.5AI = \dfrac{6}{12} = 0 . 5A

Now, potential drop across C1=3V{C}_{1} = 3V

and potential drop C2=4V{C}_{2} = 4V

Charge on the first capacitor, q1=C1V1=12\muC{q}_{1} = {C}_{1}{V}_{1} = 12\muC

Charge on the second capacitor, q2=C2V2=24\muC{q}_{2} = {C}_{2}{V}_{2} = 24\muC

Therefore, q1q2=12\dfrac{{q}_{1}}{{q}_{2}} = \dfrac{1}{2}
