Electrostatics Question 634

Question: Four identical capacitors are connected as shown in diagram. When a battery of 6 V is connected between A and B, the charge stored is found to be 1.5 μC . The value of C1 is [Kerala PMT 2005]

Options:

A) 2.5μF

B) 15μF

C) 1.5μF

D) 0.1μF

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

The capacitance across A and B =C12+C1+C1=52C1

As Q = CV, 1.5μC=52C1×6

therefore C1=1.515×106

=0.1×106F=0.1μF.
