Capacitors in series and parallel
Not what you're looking for?
Two condensers are connectedin series across a 100V supply and is found that the potential difference across A is 60V. A condenser of 2mf capacitor is now connected in parallel with A and the potential difference across B rises to 90V. Then the capacitors of A and B are respectively (a) 0.24mf, 0.16mf (b)).16mf,0.24mf (c) 1.6mf 2.4mf (d)2.4mf. 1.6mf (c) 24mf 16mf

Solution Summary
It explains how to calcualte the capacitance when capacitors are in series and parallel.
Solution Preview
first of all, capacitance C = Q/ V, where Q is the charge on the plates and V is the potential difference across.
when the two capacitors in series, the charges on them are equal.
for A: Q = C1 * V1
for B: Q = C2 * V2.
since we know ...
