Question

A 1 pF capacitor is connected in parallel with a 2 pF capacitor, the parallel combination

Answer 1

Answer:

a)3pF  has the greatest charge

b) 3pF to have the greatest voltage.

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

1pF is parallel to $2pF =1pF//2pF$

And 3pF is in with series 1pF is parallel to$2pF =3pF+(1pF//2pF)$

Generally the equation for Resultant capacitor is mathematically given by

$C=3pF+(1pF//2pF)$

$C=\frac{3}{2}pF$

Ohm's law

Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points

a)

Since

The same charge flowing through $1pF//2pF$ flow through 3pF

Therefore

3pF  has the greatest charge

b)

Voltage drop in series according to ohms law

Therefore the parallel share same voltage

Given

3pF to have the greatest voltage.
