Obtain the equivalent capacitance of the network shown in the figure and determine the charge on each capacitor for a 300 V supply:
Equivalent Capacitance Calculation:
To calculate the equivalent capacitance of the network, you need to analyze the capacitors’ connection in series and parallel. The equivalent capacitance for capacitors in series is calculated using the formula:
[
\frac{1}{C_{eq}} = \frac{1}{C_1} + \frac{1}{C_2} + \frac{1}{C_3}
]
For capacitors in parallel, the equivalent capacitance is the sum of the individual capacitances:
[
C_{eq} = C_1 + C_2 + C_3
]
By applying these formulas to the network provided in the figure, you can find the equivalent capacitance.
Charge on Each Capacitor Calculation:
After determining the equivalent capacitance, you can calculate the charge on each capacitor using the formula:
[
Q = C \times V
]
Where:
- (Q) is the charge on the capacitor,
- (C) is the capacitance, and
- (V) is the voltage supply.
Substitute the values of the equivalent capacitance and the voltage supply (300 V) into the formula to find the charge on each capacitor in the network. Make sure to apply the voltage drop across each capacitor correctly based on their connections in the network.
