The Network Shown Is Assembled with Uncharged Capacitors $X , Y$

question 277

Multiple Choice

The network shown is assembled with uncharged capacitors $X , Y$ , and $Z$ , with $C X = 4.0 \mu F , C Y =$ $6.0 \mu \mathrm { F }$ , and $\mathrm { C } _ { \mathrm { Z } } = 5.0 \mu \mathrm { F }$ . The switches $\mathrm { S } _ { 1 }$ and $\mathrm { S } _ { 2 }$ are initially open, and a potential difference $V _ { a b } =$ $120 \mathrm {~V}$ is applied between points $a$ and $b$ . After the network is assembled, switch $\mathrm { S } _ { 1 }$ is then closed, but switch $\mathrm { S } _ { 2 }$ is kept open. What is the final potential difference across capacitor $\mathrm { X }$ ?

• A) \(60 \mathrm {~V}\)
• B) \(120 \mathrm {~V}\)
• C) \(67 \mathrm {~V}\)
• D) \(75 \mathrm {~V}\)
• E) \(82 \mathrm {~V}\)
