In the circuit shown, the switch S is connected to position P for a long time so that the charge on the capacitor becomes $q_1$ μC. Then S is switched to position Q. After a long time, the charge on the capacitor is $q_2$ μC.

Q.1 The magnitude of $q_1$ is ___ .
Q.2 The magnitude of $q_2$ is ___ .

Solution

The figure below shows the situation when switch S is connected to position P.

No current flows through the capacitor in steady state. Continue reading In the circuit shown, the switch S is connected to … →
