Question

For the circuit shown in the figure below, (V=9.6V).

(a)Find the equivalent capacitance between the terminals.

Which is 0.2419 x10^-6 F

(b) Find the charge stored on the positively charged plate of each capacitor

I need help finding it for the last two capacitors. Thanks!

0.3?F capacitor 2.23?C 1.00?F capacitor _______________?C 0.250?F capacitor _______________?C

Explanation / Answer

1 and 0.25 are in parallel C1 = 1+0.25 = 1.25 uF C1 is in series with 0.3 => Ceff = 0.3*1.25/(0.3+1.25) = 0.241 uF b) Qnet = Ceff*9.6 = 2.32 uC charge on 0.3 uF = 2.32 uC charge on 1 uF = 1/(1.25)*2.32 = 1.85 uC charge on 0.25 uF = 2.32-1.85 = 0.461 uC
