  4. 2

Answer

(1) 0.5

Solution

[figure]

In steady state the capacitor is fully charged no current in its branch, so no drop across the 4 .

Current then flows only in the loop: cell (2 V) 2 6

I= 22+6=0.25 A

The capacitor branch (C + 4 ) is connected between the same two vertical wires as the 2 resistor.

VC=V2 =0.25 2

VC=0.5 V
