Answer
$\text{C}_\text{eq}=\big[(3\mu\text{fp}\ 3\mu\text{f})\text{s}(1\mu\text{f p}1\mu\text{f})\big]\text{p}(1\mu\text{f})$
$=\big[(3+3)\mu\text{f s}(2\mu\text{f})\big]\text{p}1\mu\text{f}$
$=\frac{3}{2}+1=\frac{5}{2}\mu\text{f}$
$\text{V}=100\text{V}$
$\text{Q}=\text{CV}=\frac{5}{2}\times100=250\mu\text{c}$
Charge stored across $1\mu\text{f}$ capacitor $=100\mu\text{C}$
$C_{eq}$ between A and B is $=6\mu\text{f}=\text{C}$
Potential drop across $\text{AB}=\text{V}=\frac{\text{Q}}{\text{C}}=25\text{V}$
Potential drop across BC = 75V.

A metal block of heat capacity $800^{\circ} \mathrm{C}^{-1}$ placed in a room at $20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ is heated electrically. The heater is switched off when the temperature reaches $30^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. The temperature of the block rises at the rate of $2^{\circ} \mathrm{Cs}^{-1}$ just after the heater is switched on and falls at the rate of $0.2^{\circ} \mathrm{Cs}^{-1}$ just after the heater is switched off. Assume Newton's law of cooling to hold.
→- Find the power of the heater.
- Find the power radiated by the block just after the heater is switched off.
- Find the power radiated by the block when the temperature of the block is $25^\circ C$.
- Assuming that the power radiated at $25^\circ C$ represents the average value in the heating process, find the time for which the heater was kept on.
