In the given circuit, the potential difference across \(5 \mu \mathrm{~F}\) capacitor is

  1. A 48 V
  2. B 24 V
  3. C 63 V
  4. D 21 V
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 48 V

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{gathered}C_1=5 \mu \mathrm{~F}, \mathrm{C}_2=(4+8+4)=16 \mu \mathrm{~F} \\ \therefore \mathrm{~V}_1=\left(\frac{\mathrm{C}_2}{\mathrm{C}_1+\mathrm{C}_2}\right) \mathrm{V}=\left(\frac{16}{16+5}\right) 63=48 \mathrm{~V}\end{gathered}\)
