A capacitor C1 of capacitance 5 F is charged to a potential of 30 V using a battery. The battery is then removed and the charged capacitor is connected to an uncharged capacitor C2 of capacitance 10 F as shown in figure. When the switch is closed charge flows between the capacitors. At equilibrium, the charge on the capacitor C2 is C.

Correct answer: 100
- Initial charge on
Since capacitor is charged to ,
Initially, capacitor is uncharged, so
Thus, total initial charge in the isolated system is
- After connecting the capacitors
The battery is removed, so the system is isolated and total charge is conserved.
When connected, both capacitors come to the same final potential .
So,
and
Substitute values:
- Charge on at equilibrium
- Final answer
The charge on capacitor is
