Which of the following statements is correct?

  • A
    The electric field in the capacitor after the action $XW$ is the same as that after $WX$.
  • B
    The charge appearing on the capacitor is greater after the action $XWY$ than after the action $XYW$.
  • C

$A$ metal sphere of radius $1 \ m$ is charged with $10^{-2} \ C$ in air. Its bulk modulus is $10^{11} / 4 \pi^{2} \ N/m^2$. The volume strain in the sphere is $(\epsilon_{0} = \text{permittivity of free space})$

$A$ capacitor $C_1 = 1.0 \, \mu F$ is charged up to a voltage $V = 60 \, V$ by connecting it to a battery $B$ through switch $(1)$. Now,$C_1$ is disconnected from the battery and connected to a circuit consisting of two uncharged capacitors $C_2 = 3.0 \, \mu F$ and $C_3 = 6.0 \, \mu F$ in series through a switch $(2)$ as shown in the figure. The sum of the final charges on $C_2$ and $C_3$ is ...... $\mu C$.
