Example Questions
Example Question #1 : Using Capacitor Equations
Three capacitors of equal capacitance are in a series circuit. If the total capacitance is , what is the capacitance of each individual capacitor?
Possible Answers:
Correct answer:
Explanation:
The formula for capacitors in a series is:
Since we have three equal capacitors, we can say:
Using the value for total capacitance, we can find the value for the individual capacitance.
Example Question #2 : Using Capacitor Equations
Three capacitors of equal capacitance are in a parallel circuit. If the total capacitance is , what is the capacitance of each individual capacitor?
Possible Answers:
Correct answer:
Explanation:
The formula for capacitors in parallel is:
Since we have three equal capacitors, we can say:
Use the value for total capacitance to find the individual capacitance value.
