  1. A \(230\ \mu\text{C}\)
  2. B \(260\ \mu\text{C}\)
  3. C \(130\ \mu\text{C}\)
  4. D \(160\ \mu\text{C}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(130\ \mu\text{C}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From the given circuit diagram, the \(15\mu F\) and \(30\mu F\) capacitors are connected in series. The equivalent capacitance of this series branch is: \(C_s = \dfrac{15 \times 30}{15 + 30} = \dfrac{450}{45} = 10\mu F\) This series branch is connected directly across the…
