Solution

## The correct option is C 0.6 V,3.5 V,1.5 VWe can solve this problem by potential method. Assigning potential to known point and identifying isolated parts in the given circuit and applying Kirchoffs junction law to it as shown in figure. For isolated system I: (x−10)×6+(x−y)×10+(x−5)×8=0 ⇒6x−60+10x−10y+8x−40=0 ⇒24x−10y−100=0 ......(1) For isolated system II: (y−5)×14+(y−x)×10+(y−0)×12=0 ⇒14y−70+10y−10x+12y=0 ⇒36y−10x−70=0 ......(2) Solving equations (1) and (2): Multiplying equation (2) by 2.4 and adding to equation (1), we get y=3.5 V Substituing y value in equation (1) 24x=100+10×(3.5) x=13524=5.6 V Using the value of x and y we can get the potential drop across capacitors C2,C4 and C5 as follows. V2=(5.6−5)=0.6 V V4=(3.5−0)=3.5 V V5=(5−3.5)=1.5 V Hence, option (c) is the correct answer. Why this question: To understanding the application of kirchhoffs junction law.
