Question

The positive terminal of a voltage source (V=12V ) is connected to a capacitor C1 = 4 μF. This capacitor is then connected to a parallel connection of two capacitors, C2 = 3μF and C3 = 2μF. From this parallel connection the wire leads straight back to the negativ terminal of the voltage source. What is the charge on capacitor C2?

Answer 1

Answer: 16 μC

Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to reduce to the equivalent capacitor for the initial conection:
