Calculate the amount of charge on capacitor of . The internal resistance of battery is
  1. (A)
  2. (B)zero
  3. (C)
  4. (D)✓ Correct

Answer: (D)

Solution

In the steady state no current flows through the branch that contains the capacitors, so there is no potential drop across the resistor, the internal , or the ; the full source emf of V appears across the capacitor network. That network is a capacitor in series with the parallel pair and , whose combined capacitance is . The series capacitance is , so the charge driven round the series path is . This charge sits on the parallel section, across which the voltage is V. The charge on the capacitor of this parallel pair is .
