Question

A 6 uF capacitor and a 3 uF capacitor are connected in series across an 18 V d.c. source. Calculate the charge on each capacitor.
Options
A 36.0 uC
Correct Answer
B 46.0 uC
C 75.0 uC
D 96.0 uC
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Series C = (6x3)/(6+3) = 2 uF. Q = CV = (2x10-6)(18) = 36 uC.

Hint

Series C = (6x3)/(6+3) = 2 uF.
