In the circuit shown, initially there is no charge on capacitors and keys S1 and S2 are open. The values of the capacitors are C1=10μF,C2=30μF and C3=C4=80μF.

Which of the statement(s) is/are correct?

  1. If key S1 is kept closed for long time such that capacitors are fully charged, the voltage difference between points P and Q will be 10 V.
  2. The keys S1 is kept closed for long time such that capacitors are fully charged. Now key S2 is closed, at this time, the instantaneous current across 30 Ω resistor (between points P and Q ) will be 0.2 A (round off to 1st decimal place).
  3. At time t=0, the key S1 is closed, the instantaneous current in the closed circuit will be 25 mA.
  4. If key S1 is kept closed for long time such that capacitors are fully charged, the voltage across the capacitors C1 will be 4V.

Solution

For option (C) , refer circuit diagram below

Just after closing of switch charge on all the capacitors C1,C3andC4=0
Replace all capacitors with wire, then circuit will get reduced as shown below.

i=570+100+30=5200=25mA(C) is correct
Now S1 is kept closed for long time circuit is in steady state

Apply KVL in loop, start from battery
+5-280-210-280=0
10.280=5
2=40μC
Potential difference across C1
ΔVC1=210=4010=4volt
(D) is correct.
For option (B) Now just after closing of S2 charge on each capacitor remain same,
Refer circuit below -

KVL in left loop, starting from battery of 10 volts,
10-30x-4010-70y=0
30x+70y=6 ...(i)
Now, apply KVL in right loop starting from 80μF capacitor
-4080+5+x-y30-4080+x-y×100-10+x×30=0
160x-130y-6=0 ...(ii)
Now, solving equation (i) and (ii) we get,
y=961510
and x=0.05amp. (B) is incorrect.
