In the circuit shown, initially there is no charge on capacitors and keys S1 and S2 are open. The values of the capacitors are C1=10 μF, C2=30 μF and C3= C4=80 μF.

Which of the statement(s) is/are correct?

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
C, D
Solution:

For option (C) , refer circuit diagram below

Just after closing of switch charge on all the capacitors C1, C3 and C4=0
∴ Replace all capacitors with wire, then circuit will get reduced as shown below.

i=570+100+30=5200=25 mA⇒(C) is correct
Now S1 is kept closed for long time circuit is in steady state

⇒ Apply KVL in loop, start from battery
+5-280-210-280=0
⇒10.280=5
⇒2=40 μC
⇒ Potential difference across C1
ΔVC1=210=4010=4 volt
⇒(D) is correct.
For option (B)⇒ Now just after closing of S2 charge on each capacitor remain same,
Refer circuit below -

KVL in left loop, starting from battery of 10 volts,
10-30x-4010-70y=0
⇒30x+70y=6 ...(i)
Now, apply KVL in right loop starting from 80 μF capacitor
⇒-4080+5+x-y30-4080+x-y×100-10+x×30=0
⇒160x-130y-6=0 ...(ii)
Now, solving equation (i) and (ii) we get,
y=961510
and x=0.05 amp. ⇒(B) is incorrect.
