Three capacitors C1 = 2 uF, C2 = 4 uF, and C3 = 4 uF are connected in a circuit: C2 and C3 are in series with each other, and that series combination is connected in parallel with C1; the whole combination is connected across a 12 V battery. Find the charge stored on C1.

  1. 6 uC
  2. 12 uC
  3. 18 uC
  4. 24 uC

Correct answer: 24 uC

Solution

When C1 is directly connected across the 12 V supply, Q1 = C1 * V = 2 uF * 12 V = 24 uC.
