Question

Please explain legibly step by step how you solved this problem.

Consider the following. (LetG = 28.20 F and C2 22.20 F.) 6.00 F 9.00 V (a) Find the equivalent capacitance of the capacitors in the figure. (b) Find the charge on each capacitor. on the right 28.20 uF capacitor on the left 28.20 F capacitor on the 22.20 F capacitor on the 6.00 uF capacitor (c) Find the potential difference across each capacitor on the right 28.20 F capacitor on the left 28.20 F capacitor n the 22.20 uF capacitor on the 6.00 uF capacitor

Explanation / Answer

a) 1/Ceq = 1/C1 + 1/(C2 + 6) + 1/C1

1/Ceq = 1/28.2 + 1/(22.2 + 6) + 1/28.2

Ceq = 9.4 micro F

b)

charge on the right 28.2 micro F capacitor = Ceq*V

= 9.4*9

= 84.6 micro C

charge on the left 28.2 micro F capacitor = Ceq*V

= 9.4*9

= 84.6 micro C

charge on 22.20 micro F capacitor = 84.6*22.2/(6 + 22.2)

= 66.6 micro C

charge on 6.00 micro F capacitor = 84.6*6/(6 + 22.2)

= 18 micro C


c) potential diffrence across,

on the right 28.2 micro F capacitor = 84.6/28.2

= 3 V

on the left 28.2 micro F capacitor = 84.6/28.2

= 3 V

on the 22.2 micro F capacitor = 66.6/22.2

= 3 V

on the 6 micro F capacitor = 18/6

= 3 V
