Question

For the arrangement shown in the figure, the key is closed at $t = 0$ . $C_{2}$ is initially uncharged while $C_{1}$ has a charge of $2 μ C$ .
(a) Find the current coming out of the battery just after switch is closed.
(b) Find the charge on the capacitors in the steady state condition.

Solution

a) At t=0, the resistance of uncharged capacitor is zero we can treat charged capacitors $C_{1}$ as
EMF where EMF $= \frac{q}{C} = \frac{2}{1} = 2 V$
Net EMF of circuit $= 9 - 2 = 7 V$ or
Net EMF of circuit $= 9 + 2 = 11 V$
Net Resistance $= 30 + \frac{30 \times 60}{30 + 60} = 50 Ω$
Current at t=0 would be maximum and
Current $= \frac{N e t E M F}{N e t R e s i s t a n c e}$
Current $\frac{11}{50} A o r \frac{7}{50}$
b) In steady condition ,no current will flow through circuit , $C_{2}$ will get short circuited while potential difference across $C_{1}$ will be 9V
So $Q_{2} = 0, Q_{1} = C V = 1 \times 9 = 9 μ C$
As all resistance will be short circulated at steady state .
