Explanation / Answer

Given Data: Capacitances, C1 = 27.0 *10-6 F, C2 = 44 *10-6 F Potential difference, V1 = 40 V, V2 = 40 V Solution: a) Charge on each capacitor is,           q1 = C1V1                = (27.0 *10-6 F) (40 V)                 = 1080 *10-6 C or 1080 C And q2 = C2V2                = (44.0 *10-6 F) (40 V)                 = 1760 *10-6 C or 1760 C ------------------------------------------------------------------------- b) When the capacitors are connected in series, then the     potential difference on the capacitors is,                 V1 + V2 = 80 V                       ......
