Question

http://www.chegg.com/homework-help/questions-and-answers/assume-investigate-two-multiple-component-circuits-figures-show-multiple-capacitance-left--q6682943 this is a similar problem with the same figure

Assume that you have to investigate two multiple component circuits. The figures above show a multiple capacitance (left) and a multiple resistance circuit (right).

What is the equivalent capacitance of the combination shown in the figure on the left?
DATA: C1 = 7.0 ?F, C2 = 5.0 ?F, C3 = 8.0 ?F, V = + 70 V.

What is the potential difference across capacitor C3 in the left figure?

What current flows through resistor R1 in the right figure when the applied voltage is 50 V?

Explanation / Answer

figure is not loading up, so here are the basics.

if C1 and C2 are the individual capacitor that re connected in series,

then their resultant capaciatnce 1/Cnet = 1/C1+1/C2 or Cnet   = C1C2/(C1+C2)

if c1 and C2 are connected in parallel, then their effective capacitancen is Cnet = C1+C2

also in sereis combination same amount of charge passes through each of the capacitiors

and in parallel combination, same PD (voltage) exists across each of the capacitor
