Question

Part (a) 1/Etotal= 1/E1+ 1/E2 ?V=?V1+?V2 1/?Veq= 1/?V1+ 1/?V2 ?V1=?V2=?V Etotal=E1+E2 Etotal=E1=E2 Part (b) C1?V ?V/C1 C1/?V Part (c) You can write an expression similar to that in part (b) for the chargeQ2for the second capacitor of capacitanceC2.

What is the total chargeQtotalfor the two capacitors in terms of the individual chargesQ1andQ2?
Qtotal=Q1 Part (c) You can write an expression similar to that in part (b) for the chargeQ2for the second capacitor of capacitanceC2.

What is the total chargeQtotalfor the two capacitors in terms of the individual chargesQ1andQ2?
Qtotal=Q1 Qtotal=Q1 Qtotal=Q1

Explanation / Answer

a. V1 = V2 = V b. C = q/V so, q = C1V c. q1+q2
