a) For the capacitor network shown in the figure, find the equivalent capacitance. b)Find the charge on the capacitor a) when the entire combination is connected across a 18 V battery. c)Find the charge on the capacitor b) when the entire combination is connected across a 18V battery.

Explanation / Answer

a)C_equivalent = (0.65*0.85)/(0.65+0.85) = 0.36833 F b)Q = (0.25*(0.368333333*18))/(0.25+0.4) = 2.55 C c)Q = (0.4*(0.368333333*18))/(0.25+0.4) = 4.08 C
