In the given circuit, charge Q2 on the 2 μF capacitor changes as C is varied from 1 μF to 3 μF.  Q2 as a function of ‘C’ is given properly by : (figures are drawn schematically and are not to scale)

Solution

A.

From the given circuit,
Qc= Q1+Q2
or
C (E-V) = 1 x V + 2 XV
Or V (C+3) = CE
straight V space equals space fraction numerator CE over denominator 3 plus straight C end fraction
straight Q subscript 2 space equals space straight C subscript 2 space left parenthesis straight V right parenthesis
space equals space fraction numerator 2 CE over denominator 3 plus straight C end fraction
equals space fraction numerator 2 straight E over denominator 1 plus 3 divided by straight C end fraction
As, C1 varied from 1μF to 3μF, charge increases with decreasing slope.
