Find the charges on three capacitors |
|
Answer» acitances of three capacitors are C1= 2 μF, C2= 4 μF and C3= 6 μF and the voltage of the battery (V) is 12 V.As the capacitors are connected in PARALLEL, the equivalent capacitance is GIVEN byCeq = C1 + C2 + C3 = (2 + 4 + 6) μF = 12 μF = 12 × 10−6 FDue to parallel connection, the potential difference across each capacitor is the same and is equal to 12 V.Therefore, the CHARGE on each capacitor can be calculated as follows:The charge on the capacitor of capacitance C1= 2 μF is given BYQ1 = C1V = (2 × 10−6) × 12 C = 24 × 10−6 C = 24 μCSimilarly, the charges on the other two capacitors are given byQ2 = C2V = (4 × 10−6) × 12 C = 48 × 10−6 C = 48 μCandQ3 = C3V = (6 × 10−6) × 12 C = 72 × 10−6 C = 72 μC #NOTE:-See the diagram in photo |
