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`.
