Question

Two capacitors each of 3 uF are joined in parallel across a battery of 15 V. The charge stored by each will be?
Options
A 30 uC
B 45 uC
Correct Answer
C 9 uC
D 15 uC
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

In PARALLEL, each capacitor gets the full 15 V: Q = CV = (3x10-6)(15) = 45 uC on each.

Hint

In PARALLEL, each capacitor gets the full 15 V: Q = CV = (3x10-6)(15) = 45 uC on each.
