Sol. In series combination, charge is same on capacitor. Ans.[D]
Ex.3 Three capacitors each of capacitance 1μF are connected in parallel. To this combination, a fourth capacitor of capacitance 1μF is connected in series. The resultant capacitance of the system is-
(A) 4μF (B) 2μF (C) 4/3 μF (D) 3/4 μF
Sol. Resultant of parallel combination
= 3 × 10–6 μF Total capacitance of combination is
1/Cr = 1/3 x 10 -6 =4/3 × 106
⇒ Cr =3/4 μF
Ans.[D]
Ex. 4 In the circuit diagram shown in the adjoing figure, the resultant capacitance between P and Q is-

Sol. Total capacitance of given system]
1/ CR= 5/8 ⇒ CR = 8/5 μF
Energy stored =1/2 CRV2
= 1/2 ×8/ 5× 10–6 × 225
= 180 × 10–6 joule
= 180 × 10–6 × 107 ergs
= 1800 ergs
Ans.[B]
Ex.6 Two capacitors each of 0.5 μF capacitance are connected in parallel and are then charged by 200 volts. D.C. supply. The total energy of their charges (in joules) is-
