Two capacitors `C_(1)` and `C_(2)` are connected to a battery of `6 V` as shown in Fig. Find the charge on each capacitor.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`24 mu C ; 36 mu C`

The quivalent circuit shown in Fig, reveals that the two capacitors are connected in parallel.

`:.` Charge on `C_(1)` is `q_(1) = C_(1) V = 4xx6 = 24 mu C`
Charge on `C_(2)` is `q_(2) = C_(2) V = 6xx6 = 36 mu C`
