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

Read the following paragraph and answer the questions.

A capacitor is a system of two conductors separated by an insulator. The two conductors have equal and opposite charges with a potential difference between them. The capacitance of a capacitor depends on the geometrical configuration (shape, size and separation) of the system and also on the nature of the insulator separating the two conductors. They are used to store charges. Like resistors, capacitors can be arranged in series or parallel or a combination of both to obtain the desired value of capacitance.
