Determine the charges on the three capacitors connected to a battery as depicted in the figure. Assume , , , and volts.


Options
- A, ,
- B, ,
- C, ,
- D, ,
Correct answer
C. , ,
Step-by-step solution
From the given circuit diagram, it can be observed that all three capacitors , , and are connected in parallel across the battery .
In a parallel circuit, the potential difference across each component is the same. Therefore, the voltage across each capacitor is equal to the battery voltage, .
The charge on a capacitor is given by the formula .
