Combination of Capacitors

Three capacitors C1 = 2 $\mu$ F, C2 = 6 $\mu$ F and C3 = 12 $\mu$ F are connected as shown in figure. Find the ratio of the charges on capacitors C1, C2 and C3 respectively:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

$C_1$ is directly across $V$ : $Q_1 = 2V\ \mu\text{C}$ .
$C_2$ and $C_3$ are in series: $C_{23} = \frac{6\times12}{18} = 4\ \mu\text{F}$ , so $Q_2 = Q_3 = 4V\ \mu\text{C}$ .
$Q_1 : Q_2 : Q_3 = 2 : 4 : 4 = 1 : 2 : 2$ .
So the answer is (c) $1:2:2$ .
