Question

In the shown circuit, find the ratio of charges on the 5 μF and 4 μF capacitors.

G1 Physics · Accepted Answer

Reduce the upper branch: 2 μF and 5 μF are parallel, then this combination is in series with 3 μF. Compare the branch voltage with the direct 4 μF branch. The resulting charge ratio Q₅/Q₄=3/8. Correct answer: C.
