उत्तर
A capacitor of 4 µ F is connected as shown in the circuit (Figure). The internal resistance of the battery is 0.5 Ω. The amount of charge on the capacitor plates will be 8 µ C.
Explanation:
A capacitor offers zero resistance in a circuit when it is uncharged, i.e., it can be assumed as short-circuited and it offers infinite resistance when it is fully charged.
At steady state
At steady state the capacitor offers infinite resistance in the DC circuit and acts as the open circuit as shown in the figure, therefore no current flows through the capacitor and 10 Ω resistance, leaving zero potential difference across 10 Ω resistance. Hence potential difference across capacitors will be the potential difference across A and B.
The potential difference across lower and middle branches of the circuit is equal to the potential difference across the capacitor of upper branch of circuit.
Current flows through 2 Ω resistance from left to right, is given by I = v/R + r = 1A.The potential difference across 2 Ω resistance, V = IR = 1 × 2 = 2V Hence potential difference across capacitors is also 2V.
The charge on capacitor is q = CV = (2 μ F) × 2V = 8 μ C.

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. |
