Explanation / Answer

Concept used : Relation between potential drop(V) across capacitor , Capacitance of capacitor(C) and charge on capacitor (Q) is

CV = Q

Part A

Potential drop across C1= V1 = Q1/C1 = 18/4 = 4.5 V

Potential drop across C2 = V2 = Potential drop across C1 =4.5 V (C1 and C2 parallel )

So charge on C2 = Q2 =C2V2 = 8 * 4.5 = 36 uC

Part B

Potential drop across R2 =V = potential drop across C1 = 4.5 ( they are in parallel )

When capacitors are fully charged then no current flows in paths containing capacitors so

current through R1= current through R2=I = V/R2= 4.5/2 = 2.25 A

Potential drop across battery = 92 V

Out of this 4.5 V dropped across R2 so remaining i.e. 92 - 4.5 = 87.5 V will drop across R1

Hence potential drop across R1 = V' =87.5 V

So R1 = V'/I = 87.5/2.25 = 38.89 ohm
