JEE MainPhysicsCapacitorMCQ+4 / −1
In the given circuit, charges Q2{Q_2}Q2​ on the 2μF2\mu F2μF capacitor changes as CCC is varied from 1 μF1\,\mu F1μF to 3μF.Q23\mu F.{Q_2}3μF.Q2​ as a function of ′C′'C'′C′ is given properly by: (figures  are  drawn  schematically  and  are  not  to  scale)\left( {figures\,\,are\,\,drawn\,\,schematically\,\,and\,\,are\,\,not\,\,to\,\,scale} \right)(figuresaredrawnschematicallyandarenottoscale) JEE Main 2015 (Offline) Physics - Capacitor Question 146 English

Correct answer: D

The question refers to a circuit diagram and graphical options A–D, but in the provided prompt the actual circuit figure and the option graphs are missing.

Because of that, the quantity Q2Q_2Q2​ on the 2 μF2\,\mu F2μF capacitor cannot be determined from first principles here: the relation Q2(C)Q_2(C)Q2​(C) depends entirely on how the capacitors and source are connected.

What is missing

To solve this, we would need:

  1. The circuit diagram showing the position of the variable capacitor CCC and the 2 μF2\,\mu F2μF capacitor.
  2. The four graph/options A, B, C, D.

Without the circuit, many different expressions are possible, for example:

  • if capacitors are in series, charge may be the same on both and vary as equivalent capacitance,
  • if in parallel, the charge on the 2 μF2\,\mu F2μF capacitor may be constant,
  • in bridge-like arrangements, Q2Q_2Q2​ may vary nonlinearly or even change sign.

So the problem is under-specified in the text provided.

Comparison with stored answer

The stored correct answer is D, but since the essential figure/options are absent, I cannot independently verify that from the given information alone.

If you upload the circuit figure and option graphs, I can solve it fully and verify whether D is correct.
