Answer
The equivalent capacitance of C1 and C2 in series,
$\text{C}'=\frac{\text{C}_1\text{C}_2}{\text{C}_2+\text{C}_2}=\frac{2\times2}{2+2}=1\mu\text{F}$
C′ is in parallel with C3, so equivalent capacitance of C1, C2 and C3 is:$\text{C}''=1+1=2\mu\text{F}$
C′′ is in series with C4; their equivalent capacitance,$\text{C}'''=\frac{\text{C}_4\text{C}}{\text{C}_4+\text{C}''}=\frac{2\times2}{2+2}=1\mu\text{F}$
This is in parallel with C5; So equivalent capacitance across AB is $\text{C}_{\text{AB}}=1+1=2\mu\text{F},$ Energy stored $\text{V}'=\frac{1}{2}\text{C}_{\text{AB}}\text{V}^2=\frac{1}{2}\times2\times10^{-6}\times(6)^2=36\times10^{-6}\text{J}$Need a full question paper?

Two concentric circular coils X and Y of radii 16 cm and 10 cm, respectively, lie in the same vertical plane containing the north to south direction. Coil X has 20 turns and carries a current of 16 A; coil Y has 25 turns and carries a current of 18 A. The sense of the current in X is anticlockwise, and clockwise in Y, for an observer looking at the coils facing west. Give the magnitude and direction of the net magnetic field due to the coils at their centre.
