C C. C. C be 3 2 a

Here ,

for the equivalent capacitor

first C3 and C4 are in series

1/C6 = 1/4.8 + 1/4.8

C6 = 2.4 uF

Now, for C2 and C6 in parallel

C7 = 2.4 + 4.8 = 7.2 uF

for C1 , C5 and C7 in parallel

1/Ceq = 7.2 + 1/8 + 1/8

Ceq = 2.57 uF

the equivalent capacitance of the network between points a and b is 2.57 uF

part B)

charge on capacitor C1 = V * Ceq

charge on capacitor C1 = 230 * 2.57 uC

charge on capacitor C1 = 591.4 uC

part C)

potential across C1 = 591.4/8 V

potential across C1 = 73.9 V

part D)

charge on capacitor 2 = 591.4 * 4.8/(2.4 + 4.8)

charge on capacitor 2 = 394.3 uC

the charge on capacitor 2 is 394.3 uC
