Answer:

(a) Charge of 4.25 μF capacitor is 35.46 μC.

(b) Charge of 1.13 μF capacitor is 10.05 μC.

(c) Charge of 2.85 μF capacitor is 25.36 μC.

Explanation:

Let C₁ , C₂ and C₃ are the capacitor which are connected to the battery having voltage V. According to the problem, C₁ and C₂ are connected in parallel. There equivalent capacitance is:

C₄ = C₁ + C₂

Substitute 1.13 μF for C₁ and 2.85 μF for C₂ in the above equation.

C₄ = ( 1.13 + 2.85 ) μF = 3.98 μF

Since, C₄ and C₃ are connected in series, there equivalent capacitance is:

C₅ = \frac{C_{3}C_{4}  }{C_{3} + C_{4}  }

Substitute 4.25 μF for C₃ and 3.98 μF for C₄ in the above equation.

C₅ = \frac{4.25\times3.98 }{4.25 + 3.98  }

C₅ = 2.05 μF

The charge on the equivalent capacitance is determine by the relation :

Q = C₅ V

Substitute 2.05 μF for C₅ and 17.3 volts for V in the above equation.

Q = 2.05 μF x 17.3  = 35.46 μC

Since, the capacitors C₃ and C₄ are connected in series, so the charge on these capacitors are equal to the charge on the equivalent capacitor C₅.

Charge on the capacitor, C₃ = 35.46 μC

Charge on the capacitor, C₄ = 35.46 μC

Voltage on the capacitor C₄ = \frac{Q}{C_{4} } = \frac{35.46\times10^{-6} }{3.98\times10^{-6}} = 8.90 volts

Since, C₁ and C₂ are connected in parallel, the voltage drop on both the capacitors are same, that is equal to 8.90 volts.

Charge on the capacitor, C₁ = C₁ V = 1.13 μF x 8.90 = 10.05 μC

Charge on the capacitor, C₂ = C₂ V = 2.85 μF x 8.90 = 25.36 μC

11 e) Can a conductor be given limitless charge? Obtain the equivalent resistance of several resistors if (a) they are in series
horsena [70]

Answer:

(e) no

(a) Rs = R' + R'' + R'''

(b) 1/Rp = 1/R' + 1/R'' + 1/R'''

Explanation:

11 e)

Practically it is not possible to give limitless charge to a conductor. It depends to the number of valence electrons.

(a) When the three resistances R'. R'' and R''' is in series combination.

Let they are connected to the voltage V and the current in each resistance is I.

According to Ohm's law

Voltage across R', V' = I R'

Voltage across R'', V'' = I R''

Voltage across R''', V''' = I R'''

So, let the equivalent resistance is Rs.

I Rs = I R' + I R'' + I R'''

Rs = R' + R'' + R'''

(b)

When the three resistances R'. R'' and R''' is in parallel combination.

Let they are connected to the voltage V and the current in each resistance is I', I''. I'''.

Current in R', I' = V/R'

Current in R'', I'' = V/R''

Current in R''', I''' = V/R'''

The equivalent resistance is Rp.

V/Rp = V/R' + V/ R'' + V/R'''

1/Rp = 1/R' + 1/R'' + 1/R'''
