उत्तर
Capacitance of capacitor C1 is 100 pF.
Capacitance of capacitor C2 is 200 pF.
Capacitance of capacitor C3 is 200 pF.
Capacitance of capacitor C4 is 100 pF.
Supply potential, V = 300 V
Capacitors C2 and C3 are connected in series.
Let their equivalent capacitance be C'
∴ `1/"C'" = 1/200 + 1/200 = 2/200`
∴ C' = 100 pF
Capacitors C1 and C' are in parallel. Let their equivalent capacitance be C''.
∴ `"C''" = "C'" + "C"_1`
= 100 + 100
= 200 pF
C'' and C4 are connected in series. Let their equivalent capacitance be C.
∴ `1/C = 1/("C''") + 1/("C"_4)`
= `1/200 + 1/100`
= `(2 + 1)/200`
C = `200/3` pF
Hence, the equivalent capacitance of the circuit is `200/3` pF.
Potential difference across C" = V"
Potential difference across C4 = V4
∴ `"V''" + "V"_4 = "V" = 300 "V"`
Charge on C4 is given by
Q4 = CV
= `200/3 xx 10^-12 xx 300`
= `2 xx 10^-8 "C"`
∴ `"V"_4 = "Q"_4/"C"_4`
= `(2 xx 10^-8)/(100 xx 10^-12)` = 200 V
∴ Voltage across C1 is given by
`"V"_1 = "V" - "V"_4`
= `300 - 200 = 100 "V"`
Hence, potential difference, V1, across C1 is 100 V.
Charge on C1 is given by,
`"Q"_1 = "C"_1"V"_1`
= `100 xx 10^-12 xx 100`
= `10^-8 "C"`
C2 and C3 have the same capacitances have a potential difference of 100 V together. Since C2 and C3 are in series, the potential difference across C2 and C3 is given by,
V2 = V3 = 50 V
Therefore, charge on C2 is given by,
`"Q"_2 = "C"_2"V"_2`
= `200 xx 10^-12 xx 50`
= `10^-8 "C"`
And charge on C3 is given by,
`"Q"_3 = "C"_3"V"_3`
= `200 xx 10^-12 xx 50`
= `10^-8 "C"`
Hence, the equivalent capacitance of the given circuit is `200/3` pF with
Q1 = 10−8 C, V1 = 100 V
Q2 = 10−8 C, V2 = 50 V
Q3 = 10−8 C, V3 = 50 V
Q4 = 2 × 10−8 C, V4 = 200 V
