Electrostatics Question 525
Question: The capacitor of capacitance $ 4\mu F $ and $ 6\mu F $ are connected in series. A potential difference of $ 500\ volts $ applied to the outer plates of the two capacitor system. Then the charge on each capacitor is numerically
Options:
A) $ 6000C $
B) $ 1200\ C $
C) $ 1200\ \mu C $
D) $ 6000\ \mu C $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
$ C _{eq}=\frac{C _{1}C _{2}}{C _{1}+C _{2}}=2.4\mu F. $ Charge flown = 2.4x 500x 10?6 C =1200 mC.
