Question

Three capacitors (4.7, 6.5, and 15.5 F) are connected in series across a 50.0-V battery. Find the voltage across the 4.7-F capacitor

Answer 1

Answer: 50 V

Explanation:

Given

Three capacitors are connected in parallel across 50 V battery

When capacitor are connected in parallel, net capacitance is the sum of all the values

Net capacitance

$\Rightarrow C=4.7+6.5+15.5\\\Rightarrow C=26.7\ F$

Voltage in parallel circuit is same across each capacitor. Therefore, voltage across 4.7 F capacitor is 50 V
