JEE Advanced · Physics · 18. Capacitance

In the given circuit, a charge of \(+80 \mu C\) is given to the upper plate of the \(4 \mu F\) capacitor. Then in the steady state, the charge on the upper plate of the \(3 \mu F\) capacitor is
image

  1. A \(+32 \mu \mathrm{C}\)
  2. B \(+40 \mu \mathrm{C}\)
  3. C \(+48 \mu \mathrm{C}\)
  4. D \(+80 \mu \mathrm{C}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(+48 \mu \mathrm{C}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The total charge on plate \(A\) will be \(80 \mu \mathrm{C}\).
\(2 \mu F\) and \(3 \mu F\) capacitors are in parallel. Therefore, \(C_{e q}=2+3=5 \mathrm{HF}\)
Charge on capacitor of \(3 \mu \mathrm{F}\) capacitance \(q=\frac{3}{5} \times 80=48 \mu C\)
