JEE Advanced 2018 — Paper 1 — Question 11
Three identical capacitors and have a capacitance of each and they are uncharged initially. They are connected in a circuit as shown in the figure and is then filled completely with a dielectric material of relative permittivity . The cell electromotive force (emf) . First the switch is closed while the switch is kept open. When the capacitor is fully charged, is opened and is closed simultaneously. When all the capacitors reach equilibrium, the charge on is found to be . The value of .

Answer: 1.5
Numerical answer — enter this value.
Step-by-step solution
After is closed, has charge . when opened and closed, has charge . so remaining 3
resides on and
