Two capacitors with capacitances of 16 nF and 24 nF, respectively, are connected in parallel. This combination is then connected to a battery. If the charge on the 16 nF capacitor is 56 nC, what is the charge on the 24 nF capacitor

Respuesta :

Answer:

charge on the 24 nF capacitor is 84 nC

Explanation:

given data

capacitance Q1 = 16 nF

capacitance Q2 = 24 nF

charge on the 16 nF capacitor C1 = 56 nC

solution

we get here capacitor in parallel have same voltage

V1 = V2   ...............1

here voltage V1 = [tex]\frac{Q1}{C1}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{Q1}{C1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{Q2}{C2}[/tex]    .....................2

put here value we get

[tex]\frac{56}{16} = \frac{Q2}{24}[/tex]

Q = 84 nC

so charge on the 24 nF capacitor is 84 nC
