Concepts Of Physics MCQ Edition [Volume 2]PhysicsCapacitors
Determine the charge supplied by the battery in the arrangement presented in the figure.
Options
- A110 C
- B50 C
- C10 C
- D60 C
Correct answer
A. 110 C
Step-by-step solution
Let the nodes of the circuit be identified to determine the combination of capacitors. The positive terminal of the 10 V battery is connected to the left plate of the 5.0 F capacitor and the right plate of the 6.0 F capacitor. The negative terminal of the battery is connected to the right plate of the 5.0 F capacitor and the left plate of the 6.0 F capacitor. Since both capacitors are connected directly across the same potential difference of 10 V , they are in a parallel combination. The equivalent capacitance of
