Three uncharged capacitors of capacitance C 1 = 1µF, C 2 = 2µF and C 3 = 3µF are connected as shown in the figure. The potential of point A, B and D are 10 volt, 25 volt and 20 volt respectively. Determine the potential at point O.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
(V o = 20 V)
(V A – V o )C 1 + (V B – V o )C 2 + (V D – V o )C 3 = 0
V o = 
= 
= 20 V
