Question

A 3 μ F capacitor is charged to a potential of 100 V and 2 μ 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 (A) 500 μ C (B) 100 μ C (C) 200 μ C (D) 240 μ C

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

Q. A $3 μ F$ capacitor is charged to a potential of $100 V$ and $2 μ F$ 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

$500 μ C$

$100 μ C$

$200 μ C$

$240 μ C$

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