Question 63 of 180

In the figure is shown a system of four capacitors connected across a $10V$ battery. The charge that will flow from switch S when it is closed is:

AZeroB$20\mu C$ from $a$ to $b$C$5\mu C$ from $b$ to $a$D$5\mu C$ from $a$ to $b$

Show answer and solution▾

Answer: (C) $5\mu C$ from $b$ to $a$

Finally when switch is closed,



${q}_{1}=2\times 5=10\mu C$

${q}_{2}=3\times 5=15\mu C$

The total charge on dotted region $={q}_{2}-{q}_{1}$

$=15-10=5\mu C$

Charge $5\mu C$ flows from $b$ to $a$
