A potential difference of `300` volts is applied to a combination of `2.0 muF` and `8.0 muF` capacitors connected in series. The charge on the `2.0 muF` capacitor is

Options

A. `2.4 xx 10^(-4) C`
B. `4.8 xx 10^(-4) C`
C. `7.2 xx 10^(-4) C`
D. `9.6 xx 10^(-4) C`

Answer

B

Explanation

In series combination charge `Q` is same. So charge on `2 muF` capacitor is
`Q = C_(eq)V = ((2 xx 8)/(2 + 8)) xx 300 xx 10^(-6) = 4.8 xx 10^(-4) C`
