(a) For the capacitor the potential difference across ab of 220V, the total charge stored in this network is 24.2μC

(b) The charge on each capacitor is 7.70μCand 16.5μC

(c) The total energy stored in the network is 2.66mJ

(d) The potential difference across the capacitor is 220.0V

Step by step solution

01

Calculating total charge on the capacitor

Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given by:

C=QVab=ε0Ad

Where, Cis the capacitance, Vabis the potential difference between the plates, Qis the magnitude of the charge, dis the distance between the plates, Ais the area of each plates and ε0is the electric constant whose value is8.85x1012F/m

Now we know that the equivalent capacitance of capacitor in parallel is given by:

Ceq=C1+C2=35+75=110×10−9F

The charge is given by:

C=QVabQtobla=CVab=110×10−9F(220V)=2.24×10−5C

Therefore, the total charge is 2.42x10-5C

02

Potential difference

Now it is given that

C1=35×10−9FC2=75×10−9F

Since, V=220Vis same for the both capacitors, as both are connected in parallel.

Hence,

localid="1668315618253" C=Q/VabQ=CV

Now,Q1=C1V1=C1V=35×10−9F(220V)=7.7×10−6C

Similarly, Q2=16.5x10-6C

03

Potential energy stored

We know that the potential energy stored in a capacitor is given by:

U=W=VQ2=Q22C=12CV2

Where, Uis the potential energy stored, Wis the work done,Qis the charge, Cis capacitance and V is the potential difference between the plates.

Now,

U=12CV2Utobis=12CeqVtotal2=12110×10−19F(220V)2=2.662×10−3J

Now, energy stored in each capacitor is:

U1=12C1V12=1235×10−9(220V)2=8.47×10−4J

Similarly for the other capacitor is:

U2=12C2V22=1275×10−9(220V)2=18.15×10−4J

Therefore, we can conclude that the potential difference is same for both the capacitor.
