Question

Three large plates are arranged as shown. How much charge will flow through the key k if it is closed?

Moderate
Solution

Before closing the switch

 

After closing the switch

q1+q2=2Q

VAB=VACor  q1C1=q2C2

  q1q2=C1C2=2  or  q1=2q2

Solving, we get  q1=4Q3,  q2=2Q3

Charge flown through K is

Q2(q1)=Q2+4Q3=5Q/6
