Combination of Capacitors

The charge on each capacitor when a voltage source os 15 V is connected in the circuit as shown, is

Figure

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. The left pair joins A and B directly; the right pair joins B to the top wire, which goes back to A.
  2. So all four 5 μF5\ \mu\text{F} capacitors are in parallel across the 15 V source.
  3. Each gets Q=CV=5×15=75 μCQ = CV = 5\times 15 = 75\ \mu\text{C}.
  4. So the answer is (a) 75 μ\muC.
