Question

1)Two capacitors, C1 = 4.44 ?F and C2 = 13.5 ?F, are connected in parallel, and the resulting combination is connected to a 9.00-V battery.

Find the equivalent capacitance of the combination.

Find the potential difference across each capacitor.

Find the charge stored on each capacitor.

2)Consider the following. (Let C1 = 16.40 ?F and C2 = 10.40 ?F.)

Find the equivalent capacitance of the capacitors in the figure.

Find the potential difference across each capacitor.

the equivalent capacitance of the system

Explanation / Answer

(1) C1 and C2 are connected in parallel combination.

Equivalent capacitance, C = C1 + C2

C = 4.44 uF + 13.6 uF = 17.94 uF .......Ans


in parallel combination, PD across each branch will be same.

V1 = V2 = 9 Volt .......Ans


charge on C1, Q1 = C1 V1 =4.44uF x 9V = 39.96 uC

charge on C2, Q2 = C2 V2 = 13.5 x 9 = 121.5 uC    ........ans
