Four capacitors `C_(1)=8 muF`,
`C_(2)=2 muf, C_(3)=6 muF`, and `C_(4)=6, muF` are arranged as shown in. Find the charge on all the capacitors in the circuit.
.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The figure shows an isolated system that includes all the capacitor plates isolted from other parts of circuit. We can conclude net sum of charge should be zero.
.
`2(x+10)+4(x+20)=6(0-x)+4(x-20)=0`
or `4x+20=0` or `x=-5V`
Hence `q_(1)=4[20-(5)]=100 muC`
`q_(1)=2[((-5)+10)-0)]=10 muC`
`q_(3)=6[0-(-5)]=30 muC`
`q_(4)=4[(-5+20)-0]=60 muC`.

Four capacitors C_(1)(=1 muF),C_(2)(=2muF),C_(3)(=3muF) and C_(4)(=4 muF) are connected in a network as shown in the diagram. The emf of the battery is E = 12 V and its internal resistance is negligible. The keys S_(1) and S_(2) can be independetly put on or off. Indicate the charge on the capacitors by q_(1),q_(2),q_(3) and q_(4) respectively and the potential drops across them by V_(1),V_(2),V_(3) and V_(4) respectively. Initially key S_(2) is closed. Then the key S_(1) is now closed. Then the charges on the capacitors are.
