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=10μF,C2=30μF and C3=C4=80μF.

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

Question diagram: In the circuit shown, initially there is no charge on capaci

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,C3andC4=0
Replace all capacitors with wire, then circuit will get reduced as shown below.

i=570+100+30=5200=25mA(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=40μC
Potential difference across C1
ΔVC1=210=4010=4volt
(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 80μF 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=0.05amp. (B) is incorrect.
