In the given figure the total charge stored in the combination of capacitors is \(100\,\mu C\). The value of ' \(x\) ' is \(............\).

Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(5\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Charge on \(C_1\) is \(Q_1=2 \times 10=20\,\mu C \dots(i)\)
Charge on \(C _2\) is \(Q _2= x \times 10=10\,x \mu C \dots(ii)\)
Charge on \(C _3\) is \(Q _3=3 \times 10=30\,\mu C \dots(iii)\)
Total charge \(20+10 x +30=100\)
\(\Rightarrow x =5\)
