C$400$
c (c) Given circuit can be reduced as follows
In series combination charge on each capacitor remain same. So using $Q = CV$
$==>$ ${C_1}{V_1} = {C_2}{V_2}$ $==>$ $3\,(1200 - {V_p}) = 6({V_P} - {V_B})$
$==>$ $1200 - {V_p} = 2{V_p}$
$==>$ ( ${V_B} = 0)$
$ 3V_p = 1200 ==> V_p = 400\, volt$

Three identical capacitors are given a charge $Q$ each and they are then allowed to discharge through resistance $R_1, R_2\,$ and $\,R_3$. Their charges, as a function of time shown in the graph below. The smallest of the three resistance is
A capacitor $4\,\mu F$ charged to $50\, V$ is connected to another capacitor of $2\,\mu F$ charged to $100 \,V$ with plates of like charges connected together. The total energy before and after connection in multiples of $({10^{ - 2}}\,J)$ is
A thin spherical conducting shell of radius $R$ has a charge $q$ . Another charge $Q$ is placed at the centre of the shell. The electrostatic potential at a point $P$ at a distance $R/2$ from the centre of the shell is
Three identical metal plates with large surface areas are kept parallel to each other as shown in figure. The left most plates is given a charge $Q$ and the right most plate $C$ is given a charge $-2Q.$ The middle plate $B$ is neutral. Then the charge appearing on the outer surface $S$ of the plate $C$ is :-
Four very large metal plates are given the charges as shown in figure. The middle two are then connected through a wire. Find the charge that will flow through the wire
