Q.

The circuit shown in the figure, there are two parallel plate capacitors each of capacitance C. The switch s1 pressed first to fully charge the capacitor C1 and then released. The switch S2 is then pressed to charge capacitor C2. After some time, S2 is released and then S3 is pressed. After some time

Detailed Solution

After pressing S1 charge on upper plate of C1 is +2CV0. After pressing S2 this charge equally distributes in two capacitors. Therefore charge an upper plates of both capacitors will be +CV0.

When S2 is released and S3 is pressed, charge on upper plate of C1 remains unchanged =+CV0 but charge on upper plate of C2 is according to new battery =-CV0.
