A capacitor P with capacitance \( 10\times10^{-6} F \) is fully charged with a potential difference of 6.0 V and disconnected from the battery. The charged capacitor P is connected across another capacitor Q with capacitance \( 20\times10^{-6} F \). The charge on capacitor Q when equilibrium is established will be \( \alpha\times10^{-5} C \).(assume capacitor \(Q\) does not have any charge initially),The value of \( \alpha \) is __________ .

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation


image

\(V=\frac{C_1 V_1+C_2 V_2}{C_1+C_2}=\frac{10^{-5} \times 6+0}{3 \times 10^{-5}}\)
V=2 volt
\(Q _2= C _2 V=2 \times 10^{-5} \times 2=4 \times 10^{-5} C\)
