Q.

In the network shown below, the charge accumulated in the capacitor in steady state will be         [2023]

1 7.2 μC  
2 4.8 μC  
3 10.3 μC  
4 12 μC  

Ans.

No current will flow in the capacitor in steady state. Current flowing in the circuit in steady state is

      I=36+4=310

Potential difference across the 6Ω resistance

        V=6×310=1.8 V

The capacitor will have the same potential, so the charge is

        q=CV=(4μF)(1.8 V)=7.2μC
