Problem 69P
A 12-V battery is connected to three capacitors in series. The capacitors have the following capacitances: 4.5 μ F, 12 μ F, and 32 μ F. Find the voltage across the 32- μ F capacitor.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 3
Here we need to calculate the voltage across the capacitor .
The given three capacitors ,
and
are connected in series with a battery
.
First we need to find the equivalent capacitance of the circuit and using which we can arrive at the charge on the each capacitor which is same for all capacitors in series. Finally using this datas we can estimate the voltage across particular capacitor.
