44. Equivalent circuit may be drawn as follows As the structure is balanced Wheatstone
bridge, so 5F capacitor will draw no charge
from battery and may be removed. Now the
circuit is a simple circuit.

Here Ceq  6C  6F.
Charge supplied by battery is
q  6  6  36C. Hence, charge on each
branch will be 12C, and so charge on
required capacitor is 6C.
