Image In steady state, no current flows through the capacitor branch. Thus, no voltage drop occurs across the 5 Ω resistor in that branch. The conducting path has: R = 4 Ω + 6 Ω = 10 Ω Current: I = 10/10 = 1 A Potential difference across the 6 Ω resistor: V(C) = 1 × 6 = 6 V Charge on capacitor: q = CV = 10 μF × 6 V = 60 μC
