Consider the capacitor circuit shown in the figure. Initially only 
is closed and after sufficiently long time, 
is also closed. The charge flowing through section 
after closing 
is
A
from 2 to 1
B
from 2 to 1 C
from 2 to 1
D
from 1 to 2
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Initially charge configuration (before 
is closed)
Final charge configuration (after 
is closed) is the net change of charge in the encircled region can happen only because of charge flowing in section 
.
Initial charge 
Final charge 
Charge flown 
CE from 2 to 1.
