Question

In the given circuit, all the capacitors are initially uncharged. After closing the switch S1 for a long time and suddenly S2 is also closed and kept closed for a long time. The total heat produced after closing S2 (in joules) is  (A)  (B)  (C)  (D)

When switch S2 is closed, due to symmetry no charge will flow through S2.

Q. In the given circuit, all the capacitors are initially uncharged. After closing the switch $S_{1}$ for a long time and suddenly $S_{2}$ is also closed and kept closed for a long time. The total heat produced after closing $S_{2}$ (in joules) is _____

When switch $S_{2}$ is closed, due to symmetry no charge will flow through $S_{2}$ .
