Electrostatics Question 601

Question: Two capacitors of $ 10\mu F $ and $ 20\mu F $ are connected in series with a 30V battery. The charge on the capacitors will be, respectively [AMU (Engg.) 2001]

Options:

A) 100$ \mu C $ , 200$ \mu C $

B) 200$ \mu C $ , 100 $ \mu C $

C) 100$ \mu C $ , 100$ \mu C $

D) 200$ \mu C $ , 200$ \mu C $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

In series combination of capacitor charge on each capacitor is same

$ Q _{1}=Q _{2}=Q=C _{eq}V $

$ C _{eq}V=( \frac{10\times 20}{10+20} )\times 30 $

$ =\frac{200}{30}\times 30=200\mu C $
