Q.

In the given figure, the charge stored in 6μF capacitor, when points A and B are joined by a connecting wire is ______ μC       [2024]


Ans.

(36)

At steady state, capacitor behaves as an open circuit and current flows in circuit as shown in the diagram.

Req=9Ω

i=9V9Ω=1A

ΔV6Ω=1×6=6V

VA=3V

So, potential difference across 6μF is 6 V.

Hence Q=CΔV=6×6×10-6C=36μC
