Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(9 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{C}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We know that in steady state the capacitor behaves like as an open circuit i.e., capacitor will not pass the current.

So, the potential difference across the capacitor \(=45 \mathrm{~V}\)
Hence, the final charge on the capacitor is
\(q=C V\)
Here, \(C=20 \mu \mathrm{F}, V=45 \mathrm{~V}\)
\(\therefore\) \(q=20 \times 10^{-6} \times 45\)
or
\(q=900 \times 10^{-6}\)
Or
\(q=9 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{C}\)
