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

A

`50 mu C `

B

`100 mu C`

C

`200mu C `

D

`0.75 mu F`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Net capacitance of series arrangement `1/C = 1/3 + 1/10 + 1/15 rArr C =2 mu F`
`:.` Charge on each capacitor `q = CV = (2muF) xx (100V) = 200 muC`
