Kirchhoff for Capacitor CircuitsHardQuestion 31585

Question

In a multi-loop capacitor circuit, Kirchhoff's voltage law requires:
  1. A
    Current in each loop to be zero
  2. B
    Sum of Q/C around each loop = sum of EMFs
    Correct
  3. C
    Capacitances in each branch to be equal
  4. D
    Energy to be zero

Correct answer

Sum of Q/C around each loop = sum of EMFs

Explanation

For capacitors, the voltage drop across each is Q/C. KVL gives ΣQ/C = ΣEMF around any closed loop.
