In the circuit shown in Figure, find the maximum energy stored on the capacitor. Initially, the capacitor was uncharged.

A150μC
B100μC
C50μC
Dzero
Correct Answer

Solution

Here no current will flow in the branch containing capacitor because the current flows in the closed circuit. So the capacitor remains uncharged and hence no energy is stored in the capacitor.
