The flow of charge through switch `S` if it is closed is

A

zero

B

`q/4`

C

`2q/3`

D

`q/3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Equivalent capacitance of `5muF` is also `2muF` and charge across it is also `q` or circuit is balanced. Hence, there is no flow of charge.
