Question

The capacitors shown in the diagram have capacitances: C_1 = 12 muF. C_2 = 6 muF and C_3 = 6mu F. A voltage V = 12 v is applied across contacts a and b. What is the magnitude of the total charge stored in the system Three resistors - R_1, R_2 and R_3 - are connected in a series/parallel arrangement with a barrery as shown in the circuit diagram. The voltage of the battery is V = 24 v; the resistances of the resistors are R_1 = 6.0 ohm, R_2 = 3.0ohm and R_3 = 12.0 ohm What is the current that is drawn from the battery

Explanation / Answer

Given C1 = 12 uF, C2 = 6 uF, C3 = 6 uF

C2 and C3 are in series

C23 = 3 uF

C1 and C23 are in parallel

C123 = Cequivalent = C1 + C23 = 15 uF

Total chrage stored = Cequivalent V = 15 uF*12 V = 180 uC
