Capacitance Question 3

Question 3 - 2024 (01 Feb Shift 2)

In an electrical circuit drawn below the amount of charge stored in the capacitor is $\mu C$.

Show Answer

Answer: (60)

Solution:

In steady state there will be no current in branch of capacitor, so no voltage drop across $R _2=5 \Omega$

$I _2=0$

$I _1=I _3=\frac{10}{4+6}=1 A$

$V _{R _3}=V _c+V _{R _2} \quad V _{R _2}=0$

$I _3 R _3=V _c$

$V _c=1 \times 6=6$ volt

$q _c=CV _c=10 \times 6=60 \mu C$
