Electrostatics Question 612

Question: Three capacitors of 2μF,3μF and 6μF are joined in series and the combination is charged by means of a 24 volt battery. The potential difference between the plates of the 6μF capacitor is [MP PMT 2002]

Options:

A) 4 volt

B) 6 volt

C) 8 volt

D) 10 volt

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

1Ceq=12+13+16Ceq=1μF

Total charge Q = Ceq.V = 1 × 24 = 24 mC

So p.d. across 6 mF capacitor = 246=4volt
