Question

Two capacitors of 3μF are joined in parallel across a battery of 15 volts. The charge stored by each will be?
Options
A 30 μC
B 45 μC
Correct Answer
C 5 μC
D 15 μC
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

In parallel, each capacitor sees the full battery voltage, so Q = CV = 3μF × 15V = 45 μC for each capacitor.

Hint

In a parallel connection, every capacitor experiences the same full voltage — just apply Q = CV directly.
