Question
In the given circuit, with steady current, calculate the potential difference across the capacitor and the charge stored in it.
✓
Answer
In loop ACDFA
$I=\frac{12-6}{(1+2)}=2\text{A}$
$\text{V}_{AF}=\text{V}_{BE}$
$\Longrightarrow 6+2=6+\text{V}_c$
$\Longrightarrow\text{V}_c=2\text{V}$
$\text{Charge Q = C}V_c=5\mu F\times2V=10\mu C$
