Q. In the given circuit, a charge of $+ 80\ \mu C$ is given to the upper plate of the $4\ \mu F$ capacitor. Then in the steady state, the charge on the upper plate of the $3\ \mu F$ capacitor is

A) $+ 32\ \mu C$
B) $+ 40\ \mu C$
C) $+ 48\ \mu C$
D) $+ 80\ \mu C$
Explanation

(c) $q_{3} = \frac{C_{3}}{C_{2} + C_{3}}.Q$
$q_{3} = \frac{3}{3 + 2} \times 80 = \frac{3}{5} \times 80$
$= 48\ \mu C$
