In the given circuit, chargeQ2on the2 μFcapacitor changes as C is varied from1 μFto3 μF.Q2as a function of 'C' is given properly by: (figures are drawn schematically and are not to scale)

Question diagram: In the given circuit, charge Q 2 on the 2 μ F capacitor chan

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:



1 μF & 2 μFare in parallel.



 The equivalent capacitance of the series combination is,Ceqis=3CC+3. So, the total charge supplied by the battery is,
Q=CeqE=3CEC+3.The potential difference across the parallel combination of1 μFand2μFis,V=Q3=CEC+3. So charge on2 μFcapacitor is,Q2=C2V=2CEC+3Q22E=CC+3Q22E=C+3-3C+3

Q22E=1-3C+3⇒ So the graph is a hyperbola. With downward curve line. i.e.
