Step by step solution

01

About connections of capacitors

We are given a system of three capacitors where C1=6.00Fand C2=3.00 Fwhere both capacitors C1&C2are in parallel connection. Also, the third capacitor C2=5.00 Fwhere C3is connected in series with the equivalent capacitance Ceqof C1&C2

The charge on the second capacitance is Q2=30.0data-custom-editor="chemistry" 渭贵.
02

Charge on each resistors.

We are given Q2, so we can use it for Q1 where we see two capacitors C1&C2are in parallel, and as the two capacitors are in parallel, hence the two capacitors have the same voltage

V1=V2Q1C1=Q2C2Q1=Q2C1C2

Substitute the given values in the above equations.

Q1=Q2C1C2

30.0C6.00E3.00E

We would get the total charge on the capacitors C1&C2because it will help us to find Q3 So the total charge for both capacitors is

Q=Q1+Q2=60.0C+30.0C=90.0C

As we mentioned in the subsection given the equivalent capacitance of capacitors C1&C2is in a series connection with the third capacitor C3wherein a series connection the magnitude of the charge on all plates is the same, therefore, the capacitor C3has the same charge Q of the equivalent capacitance

Q3=90.0C

03

About potential difference.

To determine the applied voltage across ab

Vab=QCeq

Where Q represents the charge on the third capacitor Q=90.0 Ceqand is the equivalent capacitance on the system (between CeqandCeq) in series. In series, the equivalent capacitance Ceqcould be

1Ceq=1Ceq+1C3

Where Ceqrepresents the equivalent capacitance between C1&C2and both are in parallel

Hence,

C'eq=C1+C2

Now substitute in the above equation

role="math" localid="1665029468212" 1Ceq=1C1+C2+1C3

1Ceq=16.00F+3.00F+15.00F1Ceq=0.3111Ceq=3.21F

Hence the potential difference across ab is

Vab=QCeq=90.0C3.21F=28.0V
