Question

determine the charge on each capacitor if the combination is connected to a 100v supply​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given Three capacitors of capacitances 2 pF, 3pF and 4pF are connected in parallel.  What is the total capacitance? Determine the charge on each capacitor if the combination is connected to a 100 v supply

• Capacitances are C 1 = 2 p F, C 2 = 3 p F and C 3 = 4 p F
• Now for parallel combination of capacitors we get
• C = 2 + 3 + 4 = 9 p F
• Now supply voltage v = 100 v
• Therefore total capacitance is 9 p F.
• So supply voltage through all three capacitors is same = V = 100 V
• Charge on a capacitor of capacitance C and potential difference V is given by q = VC
• Now C = 2pF we get
• Charge q = VC
•                 = 100 x 2
•                = 200 p C
•             = 2 x 10^-10 C
• Now C = 3 p F we get
• Charge q = V C
•               = 100 x 3
•                = 300 p C
•                = 3 x 10^-10 C
• Now C = 4 p F
• Charge q = V C
•               = 100 x 4
•               = 400 p C
•               = 4 x 10^-10 C
