    This document contains two solutions to a circuit analysis problem. The first solution finds that for two capacitors in series with capacitances of 10 mF and 2 mF charged to 12V, the equivalent capacitance is 1.67 mF and the charge on each capacitor is 20 mC. The second solution finds that for two capacitors in series with capacitances of 4 μF and 2 μF charged to 12V, the equivalent capacitance is 1.33 μF and the charge on each capacitor is 16 μC.

    12-Palma

    Solution:

    1. 1/Ceq = 1/C1 + 1/C2


    1/ Ceq = 1/10 mF + 1/2 mF
    1/Ceq = 3/5
    Ceq = 5/3
    Ceq = 1.67 mF

    Veq = Qeq/Ceq
    12V = Qeq/(5/3 mF)
    Qeq = (12 V)(5/3 mF)
    Qeq = 20 mC

    Qeq = Q1 = Q2 = 20 mC

    V1 = Q1/C1
    V1 = (20 mC)/(10 mF)
    V1 = 2 V

    V2 = Q2/C2
    V2 = (20 mC)/(2 mF)
    V2 = 10 V

    Final answer:

     Ceq = 1.67 mF,


     Qeq = 20 mC
     Q1 = 20 mC
     Q2 = 20 mC
     V1 = 2 V
     V2 = 10 V

    Solution:

    2. 1/Ceq = 1/C1 + 1/C2


    1/ Ceq = 1/4 µF + 1/2 µF
    1/Ceq = 3/4 µF
    Ceq = 4/3 µF
    Ceq = 1.33 µF
    Veq = Qeq/Ceq
    12V = Qeq/(4/3 µF)
    Qeq = (12 V)(4/3 µF)
    Qeq = 16 µC

    Qeq = Q1 = Q2 = 16 µC

    V1 = Q1/C1
    V1 = (16 µC)/(4 µF)
    V1 = 4 V

    V2 = Q2/C2
    V2 = (16 µC)/(2 µF)
    V2 = 8 V
