Manipal MET2011PhysicsCapacitance
A capacitor of capacitance 5 ~F is connected as shown in the figure. The internal resistance of the cell is 0.5 . The amount of charge on the capacitor plate is
Options
- A10 C
- B5 C
- C6 C
- D10.2 C
Correct answer
A. 10 C
Step-by-step solution
We know that capacitor offers infinite resistance for DC source. Current taken from the cell aligned & i= E R+r i & = 2.5 1+1+0.5 =1 ~A aligned Potential drop across capacitor aligned V & =E-i r & =2.5-1 0.5=2 ~V aligned The current in 2 resistor is zero. Charge on capacitor aligned Q & =C V & =5 2=10 C aligned
