Two capacitors if capacitance 0.4(mu F) and 0.5(mu F) are connected in parallel and charged to a p.d. of 50V, Determine the total charge acquired
-
A.
45(mu C) -
B.
25(mu C) -
C.
20(mu C) -
D.
10(mu C)
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation
C = (C_1 + C_2) = 0.4 + 0.5 = 0.9(mu F)
Q = Cv = 0.9 x 50 = 45(mu C)
