The Network Shown Is Assembled with Uncharged Capacitors X,YX , Y

Question 197

Multiple Choice

The network shown is assembled with uncharged capacitors X,YX , Y , and ZZ , with CX=3.0μFC _ { X } = 3.0 \mu F , CY=5.0μFC _ { Y } = 5.0 \mu \mathrm { F } and CZ=1.0μF\mathrm { C } _ { Z } = 1.0 \mu \mathrm { F } . The switches S1\mathrm { S } _ { 1 } and S2\mathrm { S } _ { 2 } are initially open, and a potential difference Vab=120 VV _ { a b } = 120 \mathrm {~V} is applied between points aa and bb . After the network is assembled, switch S1\mathrm { S } _ { 1 } is then closed, but switch S2S _ { 2 } is kept open. What is the final potential difference across capacitor ZZ ?
