Capacitors in parallel – problems and solutions

1. Four capacitors, C1 = 2 μF, C2 = 1 μF, C3 = 3 μF, C4 = 4 μF, are connected in parallel. Determine
the capacitance of a single capacitor that will have the same effect as the combination.
Known :
Capacitor C1 = 2 μF
Capacitor C2 = 1 μF
Capacitor C3 = 3 μF
Capacitor C3 = 4 μF
Wanted : The equivalent capacitance
Solution :
The equivalent capacitance :
C = C1 + C 2 + C3
C = 4 μF + 2 μF + 3 μF = 9 μF
The equivalent capacitance of the entire combination is 9 μF.

2. Determine the charge on capacitor C2 if the potential difference between point A and B is 9 Volt...

Known :
Capacitor C1 = 20 μF = 20 x 10-6 F
Capacitor C2 = 30 μF = 30 x 10-6 F
Potential difference between point A and B (VAB) = 9 Volt
Wanted : the charge on capacitor C2 (Q2)
Solution :
