Solution:

  1. Given circuit is

To find charge on capacitor, we need to determine voltage across it. In steady state, capacitor will acts as open circuit and circuit can be reduced as

In series, Req =2Ω+10Ω=12Ω

In parallel, Req=4×124+12=3Ω

In series, Req=6Ω+3Ω=9Ω

So, current in steady state, I=VR=729=8A

Now, by using current division, at point P, current in 6Ω branch is

Current in 4Ω branch is,

I˙2=VP04=2404=6Ω

So, current in 2Ω resistance is

I1=8I2[I=I1+I2]=86=2A

Potential difference across 10Ω resistor is

VQG=2A×10Ω=20V

Same potential difference will be applicable over the capacitor (parallel combination).

So, charge stored in the capacitor will be

Q=CV=10×106×20Q=2×104C=200μC
