Understanding the concept of the equivalent capacitance and charge

The potential difference on each capacitor is the same in the parallel combination but the charge on the capacitors may be different. In a series combination, the charges on the capacitor are the same but the potential difference may be different. By using the relation between charge and capacitance, and the concept of equivalent capacitance, we can find the charge on both the capacitors.

Formulae:

The equivalent capacitance of a series connection of capacitors,

1Cequivalent=1Ci ...(i).

The equivalent capacitance of a parallel connection of capacitors,

1Cequivalent=Ci 鈥(颈颈)

The charge stored between the plates of the capacitor, q = CV 鈥(iii)

03

(a) Calculation of charge on capacitor 1

The potential difference on each capacitor is the same in parallel combination. If the potential across the capacitor 1 is V , the charge can be calculated as using equation (iii) as:

q1=10渭贵10v=100渭颁

Hence, the value of the charge is100渭颁 .

04

(b) Calculation of the charge on capacitor 2

SinceC2is in series with another capacitor of the same capacitance, we find the equivalent capacitance using equation (i) as follows:

C'=C2CC2+C=100渭贵220渭贵=5渭贵

This combination is in parallel with another10渭贵capacitor. So, we can calculate the equivalent capacitancefor the parallel combination by using equation (ii) as follows:

C"=C'+C=5渭贵+10渭贵=15渭贵

Again this combination is in series with another10渭贵capacitor, thus the equivalent capacitance is given using equation (i) as follows:

Thus,

C'''=C"CC"+C=15渭贵10渭贵25渭贵=6渭贵

So for the bottom part, the equivalent capacitance is C"=6渭贵

The charge on the bottom loop can be calculated using equation (iii) as follows:

q=6渭贵10V=60渭颁

In the bottom loop,C2 is in series with the other capacitor, so they both must have the same charge.
So, the potential across the bottom right capacitor is given using equation (iii) as:

V=60渭颁10渭贵=6V

So, the potential across the group of capacitors in the upper right part is given by,

V=10V-6V=4V

This potential must be equally divided by the capacitorand the other capacitor below it.

So, the potential cross capacitor 2 isV2=2V

Therefore, the charge on capacitoris given using equation (iii) as follows:

q2=10渭贵2V=20渭颁

Hence, the value of the charge is20渭颁 .
