NEET 2026 Physics Capacitors MCQ Question
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:

5 μF, 125 μC on C₁ to C₄ and 25 μC on C₅
5 μF, 125 μC on all capacitors
5 μF, 250 μC on all capacitors
4 μF, 250 μC on C₁ to C₄ and 125 μC on C₅
Correct Answer
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.
