Two capacitors of capacitances \(3 \mu F\) and \(6 \mu F\) are charged to potentials of \(2 V\) and \(3 V\), respectively. Now, if they are connected in parallel, the charge on each of the two capacitors, will be

  1. A \(6 \mu C\) and \(18 \mu C\)
  2. B \(9 \mu C\) and \(12 \mu C\)
  3. C \(8 \mu C\) and \(16 \mu C\)
  4. D \(24 \mu C\) and \(24 \mu C\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(8 \mu C\) and \(16 \mu C\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(Q_1 = C_1 V_1 = 3 \, \mu F \times 2 \, V = 6 \, \mu C\) \(Q_2 = C_2 V_2 = 6 \, \mu F \times 3 \, V = 18 \, \mu C\) \(Q_{total} = Q_1 + Q_2 = 6 \, \mu C + 18 \, \mu C = 24 \, \mu C\) \(C_{total} = C_1 + C_2 = 3 \, \mu F + 6 \, \mu F = 9 \, \mu F\)…
