JEE Main 2026 — 21 January, Evening Shift — Question 27

The charge stored by the capacitor C in the given circuit in the steady state is ____\_\_\_\_ μC\mu \mathrm{C}.

Question figure
  1. Option A:

    12.5

  2. Option B:

    10

    Correct
  3. Option C:

    7.5

  4. Option D:

    5

Answer: B

Step-by-step solution

in steady state i=2.5/5=0.5 A\mathrm{i}=2.5 / 5=0.5 \mathrm{~A} VC=4×0.5\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{C}}=4 \times 0.5 Vc=2 V\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{c}}=2 \mathrm{~V} charge

Q=CVc=5×2=10μC\begin{aligned} \mathrm{Q} & =\mathrm{CV}_{\mathrm{c}} & =5 \times 2 & =10 \mu \mathrm{C} \end{aligned}
