In the circuit shown, \(q_2\) and \(q_3\) are respectively.

In the circuit shown, \(q_2\) and \(q_3\) are respectively.
  1. \(q_2=120 \mu C, q_3=\text { zero }\)
  2. It is impossible to find \(q_2\) and \(q_3\) unless \(C_1\) and \(C_2\) are known
  3. \(q_2=120 \mu C, q_3=240 \mu C\)
  4. \(q_2=280 \mu C, q_3=-160 \mu C\)

Solution

Given that:- To find \(q_2\) and \(q_3\). Applying kirchoff voltage law 2- \(\begin{aligned} & 100-\frac{120}{4}-\frac{q_2}{4}=0 \\ & \frac{q_2}{4}=70 \Rightarrow q_2=280 \mu \mathrm{C} \end{aligned}\) Also, \(q_2+q_3=q_1 \Rightarrow 280+q_3=120\) \(\therefore q_3=-160 \mu \mathrm{C} .\) /
