(i) What is the final potential (in V) of point b with respect to ground in steady state after switch S is closed?
(ii) How much charge flows through switch S from b to a after it is closed in µC?

Correct Matrix Matching
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
(i) 6, ; (ii) 54]; (i) when switch s is closed potential at b point is same as potential at a point V b ; (ii) final charge on 6
[(i) 6, (ii) 54]
Sol.

(i) when switch s is closed potential at b point is same as potential at a point
V b = V a = 6.0 Volt
(ii) final charge on 6.0µF is. q = 6 × 12 = 72µC
Therefore charge flow through wire b to a is = 72 – 36 = 54 µC
