In the given circuit. C 1 = 2 μ F , C 2 = 0 . 2 μ F , C 3 = 2 μ F , C 4 = 4 μ F , C 5 =…

In the given circuit.C1=2μF,C2=0.2μF,C3=2μF,C4=4μF,C5=
2μF,C6=2μF. The charge stored on capacitor C4 is  ______   μC.

Solution

From the diagram of the circuit, C3, C4, C5 are in series, so the total capacitance is 

1C'=12+14+12C'=45 μF

C' & C2 are parallel, the total capacitance is 

C''=45+0.2 μF=1 μF

C1, C'', C6 are in series. So the equivalent capacitance is,

1Ceq=12+1+12Ceq=0.5 μF

Using Q=CeqV.

The charge through the battery, Q =10×12=5 μC

 From the diagram above,

Q'=5μC×0.80.8+0.2=4 μC
