Question

Before connecting to the circuit shown in figure, all capacitors were uncharged. The circuit now is in steady state. Now the switch $S$ is closed. During the time the steady state is reached again

Column I		Column II
i	Charge on $C_1$	p	Increases
ii	Charge on $C_2$	q	decreases
iii	Charge on $C_3$	r	remains same
iv	Charge on $C_4$	s	becomes zero

Now, match the given columns and select the correct option from the codes given below

• A. i - (p), ii - (q), iii - (r), iv - (s)
• B. i - (r), ii - (p), iii - (q), iv - (q)
• C. i - (q), ii - (r), iii - (p), iv - (s)
• D. i - (s), ii - (q), iii - (r), iv - (p)

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Before closing the switch:

After closing the switch:

So charge on $C_1$ remains same, on $C_2$ increases and on $C_3$ and $C_4$ decreases.
