Three capacitors or capacitances 2pF, 3pF and 4pF are connected in parallel.
(a) What is the total capacitance of the combination ?
(b) Determine the charge on each capacitor if the combination is connected to a 100 V supply.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(a) `C_p=2+3+4=9pF`
(b) For each capacitor , V is same `=100` Volt
`q_1=C_1V=2xx100=200pC`
`q_2=C_2V=3xx100=300pC`
`q_3=C_3V=4xx100=400pC` .
