The total charge on the system of capacitance C 1 = 1 μF , C 2 = 2 μF , C 3 = 4 μF and C 4 =…

The total charge on the system of capacitance C1=1μF,C2=2μF,C3=4μF and C4=3μF connected in parallel is
(Assume a battery of 20 V is connected to the combination)
  1. 200μC
  2. 200C
  3. 10μC
  4. 10C

Solution

As the given capacitors are in parallel combination, therefore,Ceq=1+2+3+4 μF=10 μF

Hence, charge flown through the switch Q=20 V×10 μF=200 μC
