A 3mf capacitor and a 5mf capacitor are connected in parallel to a 16v battery.

Question

a) What is the equivalent capacitance of the connection?
b)What is the voltage drop across each capacitor?
c)How much charge is stored on each capacitor?
and
d) What total charge is stored on the two capacitors?

so far i have the answers for a and b
as 8mf and 16v respectively.
Is that correct so far?

and I got 48mc and 80mc as the answer for c but i'm not sure if that's right and I have no clue how to find d.

sorry if that's too confusing.

right on all, for total charge, add the two charges stored on each capacitor. It should equal the equivalent capacitance times voltage.

Answer 1

a.Ceq=8mf.

b.16v since they are in parallel to the source.

c.q=5*16 and q=3*16 respectively.

d. 128mC is the total charge
