Question

In the circuit shown below, the switch S is connected to position P for a long time so that the charge on the capacitor becomes q1 μC. Then S is switched to position Q. After the long time, the charge on the capacitor is q2 μC.

The magnitude of q1 (in μC) is

Solution

At steady state

at steady state current passing through capacitor is 0 then current in circuit I=213
I=13 A
Potential at point A=VA
Potential at point B=VB
Applying KVL in loop 1, we have
VA1(13)1=VB
VAVB=1+13=43V
Charge on capacitor, q1=C(VAVB)
q1=X=1×43μC
q1=1.33 μC
