Two capacitors, each of capacitance 2μF are connected in parallel. If the p.d across them is 120V, calculate the charge on each capacitor

A.

6.0 x 10-5C

B.

1.2 x 10-4C

C.

2.4 x 10-4C

D.

4.8 x 10-4C

Correct answer is C

C = C1+C2=2+2=4μF

but Q = CV

= 4 x 106 x 120

= 4.8 x 104

Each of the capacitor has a charge of \frac{4.8 \times 10^{-4}}{2}

= 2.4 x 10^{-4} C
