Answer:
A) C_{eq} = 15 10⁻⁶ F, B) U₃ = 3 J, U₄ = 0.5 J
Explanation:
In a complicated circuit, the method of solving them is to work the circuit in pairs, finding the equivalent capacitance to reduce the circuit to simpler forms.
In this case let's start by finding the equivalent capacitance.
A) Let's solve the part where C1 and C3 are. These two capacitors are in serious
(you has an mistake in the formula)
= 0.1 10⁶
= 10 10⁻⁶ F
capacitors C₂, C₄ and C₅ are in series
= 0.2 10⁶
= 5 10⁻⁶ F
the two equivalent capacitors are in parallel therefore
C_{eq} = C_{eq1} + C_{eq2}
C_{eq} = (10 + 5) 10⁻⁶
C_{eq} = 15 10⁻⁶ F
B) the energy stored in C₃
The charge on the parallel voltage is constant
is the sum of the charge on each branch
Q = C_{eq} V
Q = 15 10⁻⁶ 6
Q = 90 10⁻⁶ C
the charge on each branch is
Q₁ = Ceq1 V
Q₁ = 10 10⁻⁶ 6
Q₁ = 60 10⁻⁶ C
Q₂ = C_{eq2} V
Q₂ = 5 10⁻⁶ 6
Q₂ = 30 10⁻⁶ C
now let's analyze the load on each branch
Branch C₁ and C₃
In series combination the charge is constant Q = Q₁ = Q₃
U₃ =
U₃ =
U₃ = 3 J
In Branch C₂, C₄, C₅
since the capacitors are in series the charge is constant Q = Q₂ = Q₄ = Q₅
U₄ =
U₄ = 0.5 J
