Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(-9.3\) V

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Both battery positive terminals face left, so they oppose each other. Net EMF \(= 28 - 14 = 14\) V (driven by 28V, counter-clockwise). Capacitors in series: \(C_{eq} = \dfrac{4 \times 8}{4+8} = \dfrac{32}{12} = \dfrac{8}{3}\ \mu F\) Charge:…
