Calculate charge on capacitor in steady state.

Question diagram
A

50 μC

B

30 μC

C

45 μC

D

60 μC

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

In steady state, a capacitor in a DC circuit is fully charged, and the charge QQ can be calculated using the formula Q=CVQ = C \cdot V, where CC is the capacitance and VV is the voltage across the capacitor. For this problem, the values provided lead to a charge of 45 μC, confirming option C as the correct choice. Other options, such as 50 μC, 30 μC, and 60 μC, do not align with the calculated charge based on the given capacitance and voltage, indicating either miscalculations or incorrect assumptions about the circuit parameters. Understanding the relationship between capacitance, voltage, and charge is crucial in analyzing capacitor behavior in steady-state conditions.
