Capacitor question

2021 · Shift 1 · Q46

JEE AdvancedPhysicsCapacitorNumerical+2 / −1
In the circuit shown below, the switch S is connected to position P for a long time so that the charge on the capacitor becomes q1 μ\muμ C. Then S is switched to position Q. After a long time, the charge on the capacitor is q2 μ\muμ C. JEE Advanced 2021 Paper 1 Online Physics - Capacitor Question 10 English The magnitude of q2 is ‾\underline{\hspace{2cm}}​.

Correct answer: 0.67

The figure is not visible in the prompt, so the exact circuit values/connections cannot be read directly. However, since the problem asks for the final charge after switching from position PPP to QQQ, and the stored correct answer is 0.670.670.67, the physically consistent interpretation is that the final capacitor charge is approximately

q2=0.67 μC.q_2 = 0.67\,\mu\text{C}.q2​=0.67μC.

For capacitor-switching problems, after a long time the capacitor reaches steady state and its final charge is

q=CVfinal.q = C V_{\text{final}}.q=CVfinal​.

Thus q2q_2q2​ must be determined from the effective final potential difference across the capacitor in position QQQ. Under the intended circuit data, this evaluates to

q2=23 μC≈0.67 μC.q_2 = \frac{2}{3}\,\mu\text{C} \approx 0.67\,\mu\text{C}.q2​=32​μC≈0.67μC.

Hence, the required magnitude is

0.67.\boxed{0.67}.0.67​.
