Charge RedistributionMediumQuestion 31526

Question

A charged capacitor (6 μF, 100 V) is connected to an uncharged 3 μF capacitor. Final voltage across each is:
  1. A
    100 V
  2. B
    200/3 V
    Correct
  3. C
    50 V
  4. D
    150 V

Correct answer

200/3 V

Explanation

Q initial = 600 μC. Final C_total = 9 μF. V_f = 600/9 = 200/3 ≈ 66.7 V. Charge distributes to equalise voltage.
