उत्तर

The equivalent circuit is given below.

There are two capacitors in one branch in series. So, the equivalent capacitance of one branch will be

1/1+1/1=2muF

The arrangement will be further reduced to the form given below.

Now, both the capacitors are in parallel, so the equivalent capacitance will be

2+2=4μF

Therefore, the equivalent capacitance is 4 μF.

(i)

Voltage, V = 6 V

The charge in the network is given by

q=CV

Here, C is the equivalent capacitance.

Now,q=4×106×6  

=24×106 C=24 μC

(ii)

The energy stored in the network is given by
E=1/2CV2
  

=12×4×106×(6)2  

=12×4×36×106  

=72×106 J

=72 μJ
