Four capacitors with capacitances C1=1 μF,C2=1.5 μF, C3=2.5 μF and C4=0.5 μF are connected as shown and are connected to a 30 volt source. The potential difference between points a and b is:

  1. A 5 V
  2. B 9 V
  3. C 10 V
  4. D 13 V
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 13 V

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let q be the charge on capacitors C1 and C2 ⇒qC1+qC2=30 ⇒q1+q1.5=30 ⇒q=18 μC VA-Va=qC1=18 V Let q' be the charge on capacitors C3 and C4 ⇒q'C3+q'C4=30 ⇒q'2.5+q'0.5=30 ⇒q'=252 μC VA-Vb=q'C3=5 V…
