Two capacitors, each of capacitance 2\(\mu\)F are connected in parallel. If the p.d across them is 120V, calculate the charge on each capacitor

  • A. 6.0 x 10-5C
  • B. 1.2 x 10-4C
  • C. 2.4 x 10-4C
  • D. 4.8 x 10-4C

Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation

C = \(C_1 + C_2 = 2 + 2 = 4 \mu F\)

but Q = CV

= 4 x 10\(^{-6}\) x 120

= 4.8 x 10\(^{-4}\)

\(\therefore\) Each of the capacitor has a charge of \(\frac{4.8 \times 10^{-4}}{2}\)

= 2.4 x 10\(^{-4}\) C
