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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`C_(1)=2pF, C_(2)=pF, C_(3)=4pF`
a. 9pF
b. `Q_(1)= 2 xx 10^(-12) xx 100= 2 xx 10^(-10)C, Q_2=3 xx 10^(-10)C," "Q_(3)=4 xx 10^(-10)C`
