Study Notes
Capacitance Combination
- The circuit consists of three capacitors (C1, C2, and C3) connected in series.
- Capacitance values: C1 = 12.0 µF, C2 = 5.30 µF, C3 = 4.50 µF.
- The capacitors are connected as follows: C1(-) → V, C1(+) → C2(-), C2(+) → C3(-), C3(+) → B.
- A potential difference V is applied across the combination of capacitances.
- The applied potential difference is V = 12.5V.
Capacitor C1
- The charge on C1 needs to be determined.
- The capacitance value of C1 is 12.0 µF.
