Correct answer: 16

  1. Steady state behavior of capacitor

    At steady state in a DC circuit, the capacitor behaves like an open circuit.
    So no current flows through the branch containing the capacitor.

  2. Voltage across the capacitor

    Therefore, the charge on the capacitor is determined from Q=CVCQ = C V_CQ=CVC​ where VCV_CVC​ is the potential difference across the capacitor.

  3. Using the circuit values

    From the given circuit, the potential difference across the capacitor comes out to be VC=4 VV_C = 4\text{ V}VC​=4 V and the capacitance is C=4 μFC = 4\,\mu\text{F}C=4μF

  4. Compute the charge

    Q=CV=(4 μF)(4 V)=16 μCQ = CV = (4\,\mu\text{F})(4\,\text{V}) = 16\,\mu\text{C}Q=CV=(4μF)(4V)=16μC

  5. Final answer

    Hence, the steady state charge on the capacitor is 16 μC\boxed{16\,\mu\text{C}}16μC​
