Three capacitors, C1, C2, C3 are connected in series. This combination is connected in parallel with capacitor C4. C1 = C2 = C3 = 30 \( \mu F \) and C4 = 10 \( \mu F \). Now a potential 400 V is applied across the combination. The total charge across the combination of capacitors is

  1. A \( 8 \times 10^{-3} \, C \)
  2. B \( 4 \times 10^{-3} \, C \)
  3. C \( 3.6 \times 10^{-3} \, C \)
  4. D \( 4 \times 10^{-3} \, C \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \( 8 \times 10^{-3} \, C \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( C_{series} = \left(\frac{1}{C_1} + \frac{1}{C_2} + \frac{1}{C_3}\right)^{-1} = \left(\frac{1}{30 \mu F} + \frac{1}{30 \mu F} + \frac{1}{30 \mu F}\right)^{-1} = 10 \mu F \) \( C_{total} = C_{series} + C_4 = 10 \mu F + 10 \mu F = 20 \mu F \)…
