Electrostatics Question 582

Question: Two condensers C1 and C2 in a circuit are joined . The potential of point A is V1 and that of B is V2 . The potential of point D will be [MP PMT 1997]

Options:

A) 12(V1+V2)

B) C2V1+C1V2C1+C2

C) C1V1+C2V2C1+C2

D) C2V1C1V2C1+C2

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Charge on C1 = charge on C2

therefore C1(VAVD)=C2(VDVB)

therefore C1(V1VD)=C2(VDV2)

therefore VD=C1V1+C2V2C1+C2
