JEE Main2015PhysicsCapacitanceActual
In the figure is shown a system of four capacitors connected across a 10 V battery. The charge that will flow from switch S when it is closed is:
Options
- AZero
- B20   μC from a to b
- C5   μC from b to a
- D5   μC from a to b
Correct answer
C. 5   μC from b to a
Step-by-step solution
Finally when switch is closed, q 1 = 2 × 5 = 10   μC q 2 = 3 × 5 = 15   μC The total charge on dotted region = q 2 - q 1 = 15 - 10 = 5   μC Charge 5   μC flows from b to a
