Four capacitors are connected in a circuit as illustrated. Find the charge on, the voltage difference across, and the energy stored for each of the capacitors.
Capacitors C1 and C2 are in parallel. Hence their net capacitance C12 = (0.40 + 0.40) F = 0.80 F
Similarly, Net capacitance of C3 and C4 in parallel, C34 = (0.20 + 0.60) F = 0.80 F
Thus we have two equal capacitances C12 and C34 connected in series across 12 V supply. Hence potential difference acros each capacitance C12 and C34 is 6 V. As C1 and C2 are in parallei and C3 and C4 in parallel, therefore
P.D. across C1 = P.D. across C2 = P.D.across C3 = P.D. across C4 = 6 V
Charge on C1 = Charge on C2 = (0.4 F) x 6 V = 2.4 C
Charge on C3 = (0.20 F) x 6 V = 1.2 C
Charge on C4 = (0.60 F) x 6 V = 3.6 C
Energy stored in C1 = Energy stored in C2 = (CV2) / 2 = (0.40 F) x 36 V 2 / 2 = 7.2 J
Energy stored in C3 = (CV2) / 2 = (0.20 F) x 36 V 2 / 2 = 3.6 J
Energy stored in C4= (CV2) / 2 = (0.60 F) x 36 V 2 / 2 = 10.8 J
