JEE Main 2024 — 1 February, Shift 2 — Question 56

In an electrical circuit drawn below the amount of charge stored in the capacitor is _______\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ μC.\mu C.

Question figure

Answer: 60

Numerical answer — enter this value.

Step-by-step solution

In steady state there will be no current in branch of capacitor, so no voltage drop across R2=5Ω\mathrm{R}_{2}=5 \Omega I2=0\mathrm{I}_{2}=0 I1=I3=104+6=1 A\mathrm{I}_{1}=\mathrm{I}_{3}=\frac{10}{4+6}=1 \mathrm{~A} VR3=Vc+VR2 VR2=0\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{R}_{3}}=\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{c}}+\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{R}_{2}} \quad \mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{R}_{2}}=0 I3R3=Vc\mathrm{I}_{3} \mathrm{R}_{3}=\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{c}} Vc=1×6=6\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{c}}=1 \times 6=6 volt qc=CVc=10×6=60μC\mathrm{q}_{\mathrm{c}}=\mathrm{CV}_{\mathrm{c}}=10 \times 6=60 \mu \mathrm{C}
