Question

when two capacitor 3muF and 6muF are connected in a parallel and combination is charged to a potential of 120 volt the potential difference across the 3muF capacitor is​

Answer 1

Answer:

V₁ = V = 120 V

Explanation:

Such a combination of capacitors in which;

1- Potential difference across each capacitor is the same

2- Total charge is distributed amongst the capacitors

; is called Parallel Combination.

Therefore, in this case, the potential difference across each capacitor will also be the same. Because the capacitors are connected in parallel here. So the voltage across 3 μF capacitor will be the same as the voltage across the 6 μF capacitor and they both will be equal to the total potential difference.

V₁ = V = 120 V
