JEE Main 2022 · 28 Jun · Shift 2, Physics question 56

A capacitor C1C_1 of capacitance 5 μ\muF is charged to a potential of 30 V using a battery. The battery is then removed and the charged capacitor is connected to an uncharged capacitor C2C_2 of capacitance 10 μ\muF as shown in figure. When the switch is closed charge flows between the capacitors. At equilibrium, the charge on the capacitor C2C_2 is ______ μ\muC.

Capacitor C1 = 5 μF and capacitor C2 = 10 μF joined in a loop through an open switch.
Answer and worked solution

Official answer: 100

Shared charge. Q=5×30=150Q=5\times30=150 μC; common voltage 15015=10\frac{150}{15}=10 V.

C2C_2 holds 10×10=10010\times10=100 μC.

Answer: 100
