ASSIGNMENT-1 1. Three Capacitors are connected to a battery of unknown voltage as shown in the circuit diagram.

The voltage drop across the first Capacitor C 1 is 11.0 v

C1=20nF

+
V=?

C =30nF 2

C =40nF 3
A. What is the effective Capacitance of the three Capacitor? SOLUTION CAPACITORS in series: C1 and C2
1 1 1 1 1 3+2 5 1 = + = + = = = C eqv C1 C 2 20 30 60 60 12 C eqv = 12nF

CAPACITORS in parallel: Ceqv and C3

C eqv (T ) = C eqv + C 3 = 12nF + 40nF = 52nF

B. What is the Voltage of the battery? VOLTAGE in series: - Charge, Q12 in series have the same value

Q1 = Q2 = C1V1 = ( 20 * 10 9 ) * 11v = 220 * 10 9 c V2 = Q2 220 * 10 9 22 = = = 7.33v 9 C2 3 30 * 10

VT = V1 + V2 = 11v + 7.33v = 18.33v

VOLTAGE in parallel: - have the same valu
V3 = VT =18.33v

C. Which Capacitor has largest Charge stored in it?

Charge in series circuit is equal

Q1 = Q2 = 220 * 10 9 C Q3 = C 3V3 = (40 * 10 9 ) F * 18.33v = 733.33 * 10 9 C = 0.733 * 10 6 C

Therefore Q3 has the largest value D. How much work did it take the battery to charge up all the Capacitors?
W = C eqvT VT2 = (52 * 10 9 F ) * (18.33v ) 2 = 17.47 * 10 6 J = 0.01747 * 10 6 KJ
