NEET 2026 Physics Capacitors MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

Five capacitors of capacitances C₁ = C₂ = C₃ = C₄ = 10 μF and C₅ = 2.5 μF are connected as shown, along with a battery of 50 V. The equivalent capacitance and the charges on each capacitor respectively are:

Question diagram
A

5 μF, 125 μC on C₁ to C₄ and 25 μC on C₅

B

5 μF, 125 μC on all capacitors

C

5 μF, 250 μC on all capacitors

D

4 μF, 250 μC on C₁ to C₄ and 125 μC on C₅

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The equivalent capacitance is calculated as C_eq = 2.5 + 2.5 = 5 μF. The charge on capacitors C₁ to C₄ is q₁ = q₂ = q₃ = q₄ = 2.5 × 50 = 125 μC, and on C₅ is q₅ = 2.5 × 50 = 125 μC.
