In the network shown below, the charge accumulated in the capacitor in steady state will be:

In the network shown below, the charge accumulated in the capacitor in steady state will be:

 

  1. 10.3 μC
  2. 4.8 μC
  3. 12 μC
  4. 7.2μC

Solution

In steady state, capacitor behaves as open circuit, so no current will flow.

The total resistance of the circuit is, R=6+4 Ω=10 Ω

The current flowing through the circuit is

I=3 V10 Ω

Potential difference on 6 Ω resistor

V'=310×6=1.8 V

The charge on the capacitor is,

Q=CV'=4 μF×1.8 V=7.2 μC
