Question:

The charge on capacitor of capacitance 20 μF as shown in figure given below is:

Options:

66.7 μC

100 μC

300 μC

450 μC

Correct Answer:

100 μC

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → 100 μC

As capacitor are connected in series -

$\frac{1}{C_{net}}=\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{10}=\frac{1+2}{20}$

$C_{net}=\frac{20}{3}μF$

Now,

$C=\frac{Q}{V}$

$⇒Q=CV$

$=\frac{20}{3}×15=100 μC$
