Answer:
For C1, Q = 1.6125×10⁻³ C
For C2, Q = 6.25×10⁻⁴ C
Explanation:
Note: Since the capacitors are connected in parallel, The voltage across each of them is equal.
From the question,
Q = CV........................ Equation 1
Where Q = Charge on the capacitor, V = Voltage across the capacitor, C = Capacitance of the capacitor.
For the first capacitor,
Q = C1V............. Equation 2
Where C1 = 6.45 μF= 6.45×10⁻⁶ F, V = 250 V
Substitute into equation 2
Q = (6.45×10⁻⁶ )(250)
Q = 1.6125×10⁻³ C.
For the the second capacitor,
Q = C2V............. Equation 3
Given: C2 = 2.50 μF = 2.5×10⁻⁶ F, V = 250 V
Q = (2.5×10⁻⁶ )(250)
Q = 6.25×10⁻⁴ C
