Question

three capacitors of capacitance 2 microfarad, 4 microfarad and 6 microfarad are connected in parallel and a potential difference of 12 V is applied. The charge on each capacitor

Answer 1

Given:

capacitors 2Цf, 4Цf, 6Цf

Potential difference = 12v

To Find:

Charge on each capacitor

Solution:

Since the capacitors are in parallel connection,

Potential difference across each capacitor = 12v

We Know,

Charge on capacitor = C * V   (capacitance  * voltage)

Charge on 2Цf capacitor = 12 * 2 = 24 Цc

Charge on 4Цf capacitor = 12 * 4 = 48 Цc

Charge on 6Цf capacitor = 12 * 6 = 72 Цc

So, The charges on each capacitor are 24Цc , 48Цc , 72Цc.
