-
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. -
Voltage across the capacitor
Therefore, the charge on the capacitor is determined from where is the potential difference across the capacitor.
-
Using the circuit values
From the given circuit, the potential difference across the capacitor comes out to be and the capacitance is
-
Compute the charge
-
Final answer
Hence, the steady state charge on the capacitor is
