Three capacitors of capacitance 3 muF, 1...

Three capacitors of capacitance `3 muF, 10 muF` and `15 muF` are connected in series to a voltage source of `100 V`. The charge on `15 muF` is

A

`50 muC`

B

`100 muC`

C

`200 muC`

D

`280 muC`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`(1)/(C_(eq)) = (1)/(3) + (1)/(10) + (1)/(15) rArr C_(eq) = 2muF`
Charge on each capcitor
`Q = C_(eq) xx V rArr 2 xx 100 = 200 muC`
