Electrostatics Question 603

Question: Three capacitors of capacitance 3μF,10μF and 15μF are connected in series to a voltage source of 100V. The charge on 15μF is [Pb. PMT 1999; AIIMS 2000; CPMT 2001]

Options:

A) 50μC

B) 100μC

C) 200μC

D) 280μC

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

1Ceq=13+110+115Ceq=2μF

Charge on each capacitor

Q=Ceq×V

2×100=200μC
