Answer:
The Current Iₜ = I₁ + I₂ + I₃
Charge Qₜ = Q₁ + Q₂ + Q₃
Potential difference Vₜ = V₁ = V₂ = V₃
The total capacitance Cₜ = C₁ + C₂ + C₃
Explanation:
According to the attached image;
For parallel arrangements of capacitors, the current flowing through each of the capacitors sums up to the total current flowing through the circuit;
Iₜ = I₁ + I₂ + I₃
Also the charge storage by each capacitor sums up to give the total charge stored;
Qₜ = Q₁ + Q₂ + Q₃
The potential difference across each of the capacitors are the same and equal to the total voltage across the circuit;
Vₜ = V₁ = V₂ = V₃
The total capacitance equals the sum of the capacitances of each of the capacitors;
Cₜ = C₁ + C₂ + C₃
