Question

In the circuit shown in figure $C_1=C_2=2\mu F.$Then charge stored in

• A. capacitor $C_1$ is zero
• B. capacitor $C_2$ is zero
• C. both capacitors is zero
• D. capacitor $C_1$ is $40\mu C$

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (D)

The correct options are
B capacitor $C_2$ is zero
D capacitor $C_1$ is $40\mu C$



Now, potential difference across $C_1$ is 20 V and across $C_2$ is zero.

$\therefore$ charge stored in $C_1$ is $40\mu C$ and in $C_2$ is zero.
