Each combination of capacitors between points a and b in Fig is first connected across a 120-V battery, charging the combination to 120 V. These combinations are then connected to make the circuits shown. When the switch S is thrown, a surge of charge for the discharging capacitors flows to trigger the signal device. How much charge flows through the signal device?



(a) 20.0 30.0s 10.0 uF Signal device (b) 10.0 µF : 20.0 μΗ :30.0 μF Signal device

(a) 20.0 30.0s 10.0 uF Signal device (b) 10.0 F : 20.0 :30.0 F Signal device
