A series combination of two capacitors \( C_1 = 3 \, \mu\text{F} \) and \( C_2 = 6 \, \mu\text{F} \) is connected in parallel with a third capacitor \( C_3 = 4 \, \mu\text{F} \). This system is connected to a 10 V battery. The total energy stored in the system is:

  1. A \( 4 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{J} \)
  2. B \( 3 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{J} \)
  3. C \( 6 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{J} \)
  4. D \( 9 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{J} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \( 3 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{J} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(C_{12} = \frac{C_1 C_2}{C_1 + C_2} = \frac{(3 \, \mu\text{F})(6 \, \mu\text{F})}{3 \, \mu\text{F} + 6 \, \mu\text{F}} = 2 \, \mu\text{F}\) \(C_{eq} = C_{12} + C_3 = 2 \, \mu\text{F} + 4 \, \mu\text{F} = 6 \, \mu\text{F}\)…
