Q. A $3\,\mu F$ capacitor is charged to a potential of $100\, V$ and $2\,\mu F$ capacitor is charged to $100 \,V$. The capacitors are then connected in parallel with plates of opposite polarities joined together. The amount of charge flown is

Solution:

Total charge on 3$\mu$F before connecting = 300$\mu$ C Charge on 3 $\mu F$ after distribution = $60\,\mu C$ , So amount of charge flow = $240 \,μC$
