Each capacitor shown in figure has a capacitance of 5⋅0 µF. The emf of the battery is 50 V. How much charge will flow through AB if the switch S is closed?

उत्तर
Initially, when the switch S is open, the equivalent capacitance is given by
`C_(eq) = (2CxxC)/(3C)`
`⇒ C_("eq") = 2/3 C = 2/3 xx 5.0 "uF"`
The Charge supplied by the battery is given by
`Q = C_(eq) xx V`
`⇒ Q = 2/3 xx (5.0 "uF") xx (50 "V")`
`⇒Q = 500/3 "uC"`
When the switch S is closed, no charge goes to the capacitor connected in parallel with the switch.
Thus, the equivalent capacitance is given by `C_(eq) = 2C = 2 xx 5.0 xx 10 = uF`
The charge supplied by the battery is given by
`Q = 10 "uF" xx 50 = 500 "uC"`
The initial charge stored in the shorted capacitor starts discharging."?
Hence, the charge that flows from A to B is given by
`Q_"net" = 500 "uC" - 500/3 "uC"`
`⇒ Q_"net" = 3.3 xx 10^-4 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. |
