Question

For the circuit shown in the figure, determine the charge on capacitor in steady state?

• A. $4\mu C$
• B. $6\mu C$
• C. $1\mu C$
• D. $0$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$0$

Equal and opposite charges should transfer from two terminals of a battery. For charging of a capacitor, it should lie on a closed loop.

In the given circuit, the capacitor does not lie in a closed loop. So the capacitor will not charged and its charge is zero.
