Three capacitors of capacitance `2 pF, 3 pF and 4 pF` 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 100V supply.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`C_(p) = 2+3+4 = 9 pF`
For each capacitor, V is same = 100 volt
`:. q_(1) = C_(1) V = 2xx100 = 200 pC, q_(2) = C_(2) V = 3xx100 = 300 pC, q_(3) = C_(3)V = 4xx100 = 400 pC`
